Hundreds of passengers suffered, struggled and were delayed to their destinations as Chennai Metro Rail train services were disrupted during the rush hours owing to a technical glitch. Train services between Little Mount and Chennai airport were suspended for a brief period causing a lot of inconvenience.
Stations, particularly Chennai Central and Alandur Metro Rail stations were flooded with passengers as they waited for trains.
At around 8 a.m., due to a technical glitch with the overhead electric line near Guindy Metro Rail station, there were some changes in the train services between Wimco Nagar depot and Chennai airport. “Due to technical issue, single line operation is being undertaken from Little Mount to Arignar Anna Alandur Metro. Normal services are presently being operated from Wimco Nagar Depot to Little Mount in Blue Line. Short Loop service has been planned between Arignar Anna Alandur Metro and Airport. Normal services are operated in Green Line,” a statement from Chennai Metro Rail Limited said.
