Bengaluru: Brief Disruption in Green Line Metro Services Due to Power Breakdown

Metro services on the Green Line were briefly disrupted on Tuesday morning following a power breakdown, with trains operating in a short loop between Silk Institute and Yeshwanthpur stations before services were restored, officials said.

Following the disruption, metro service between Yeshwanthpur and Madavara was suspended briefly, they said. The Green Line of Namma Metro operates between Madavara in the northwest and Silk Institute in the south.

"Due to a power breakdown, Green Line Metro services have been operating in a short-loop service between Silk Institute and Yeshwanthpur stations from 8 AM today," BMRCL said, in a statement.

It further said that the technical teams have worked on a war footing to restore normal services.

Eventually, the power supply was restored, and normal metro revenue services have resumed across the entire Green Line from 8.45 am, the BMRCL said. "BMRCL thanks all commuters for their patience and cooperation during the disruption," it said.
