A technical snag at the Rajajinagar Metro station caused inconvenience to thousands of commuters on the green line on Tuesday. Train services between Yeshwantpur station and Mantri Square - Sampige Road station were cut off after the rear wheel mechanism of a Road cum Rail Vehicle (RRV) got jammed at Rajajinagar metro station.
“The RRV after depot testing, was under mandatory trials from Peenya depot to National College Metro Station at the curve locations during non-operational hours. During the trials at Rajajinagar, the rear wheel mechanism, which is a combination for road and rail, got jammed and could not be retrieved even with the help of the other RRV,” said B.L. Yashwanth Chavan, Chief Public Relations Officer, BMRCL.
