The trial run of Delhi Metro's swanky new 'driver-less' trains began on Tuesday, setting the ball rolling on what promises to be a technological feat in the country's public transport system in little more than a year, when they will run on 'unattended' mode.
Trains are to operate in batches of four-hour each from 7-11 am and 4-8 pm in the first stage.
Traffic snarls were reported from different parts of the national capital on Saturday as rain continued to lash New Delhi for the third consecutive day.
