A ‘mechanical fault’ in a Metro rake disrupted services for an hour on Monday afternoon. A New Garia-bound train stuttered to a halt at Sovabazar station around 12.10pm. Despite multiple efforts, the train could not be started.
The passengers were evacuated after around 30 minutes. After a temporary repair job, the empty train left for the car shed in New Garia around 1.10pm, said Metro officials.
“We ran truncated services between Central and New Garia stations till the resumption of full services around 1.04pm,” said a Metro official.
