BENGALURU: Metro operations were disrupted on Saturday morning for one hour and 45 minutes as the Emergency Trip System (ETS) at Indira Nagar Metro station developed an issue. Twenty trips could not be run between MG Road and Baiyappanahalli from 9.15 am. Train operations returned to normal by 11 am.
Executive Director, Operations and Maintenance, Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (BMRCL), AS Shankar said, “Because of the sudden disruption in power supply, train operations came to a halt at 9.15 am. Our staff carried out various checks of many systems and even patrolled the tracks between Halasuru and Indira Nagar. It was finally found that the ETS had been pressed at Indira Nagar Metro station and it was rectified. It is not clear if any passenger had pressed it or if it had developed some issue.”
