Hello Ameya,

this looks like systemd on the server went into an inconsistent state.

You can try the steps below to bring back systemd to normal. \*Please note that might cause unexpected breakage on the  
server\*.

1. systemctl daemon-reexec  
2. kill -TERM 1  
3. reboot

If you are lucky step 1 or step 1 and step 2 might be sufficient. I had cases though where step 3 was necessary.

Regards
