'The report was received at 7.30 p.m. yesterday (Thursday). Sreedharan has asked a group of directors of DMRC to examine the report after which he will review it himself,' DMRC spokesperson Anuj Dayal told IANS.

'Based on the findings of the report, action is likely to be taken by DMRC next week,' Dayal added.

While details of the inquiry are still unclear, official sources say that the report has blamed DMRC's contractor for the under construction metro rail link, Gammon India.

Another official said that strict action is likely against DMRC officials who were involved in projects on the stretch.

Sreedharan meanwhile also called for setting up a full time safety organisation for DMRC's operation and maintenance wing. The organisation will be in-charge of reviewing of safety procedures being followed in structural maintenance of stations, safety of track, safety of elevated beams of Delhi Metro, safety of running trains and safety of electrical and telecom equipment.
