Huge rush on Bengaluru metro’s Purple Line as power supply works hit service

Namma Metro train services remain disrupted between Indiranagar and Baiyappanahalli on the Purple Line as the repercussions of overnight power supply works linger. Other stations, especially Majestic, are currently witnessing a huge rush of passengers.

All trains arriving from Kengeri and Majestic are currently being terminated at Indiranagar. Commuters have to take BMTC buses to travel to Swami Vivekananda (Old Madras Road) and Baiyappanahalli stations.

On Monday night, the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) started changing power supply systems at the Baiyappanahalli station as part of works to complete the 2.1-km Baiyappanahalli-KR Pura section, the only link currently missing in the Purple Line.
