Scores of passengers spent some anxious moments in the city on Thursday when the metro train with them aboard stopped midway and refused to move for over half an hour. The train on the L.B.Nagar-Miyapur corridor came to an abrupt halt with sudden brake, a little short of reaching Lakdikapul station at around 5.15 p.m.
Despite several attempts by the Hyderabad Metro Rail drivers and the staff aboard, the train did not move even an inch. “I got in at Dilsukhnagar, and was to get down at Lakdikapul station, but spent more time than the usual journey time, waiting on the tracks just a few yards from my destination,” said Shubham Agarwal, a passenger.
While several passengers got used to abrupt brakes between the stations most often due to the emergency button getting pressed by mistake, the train usually moves in seconds.
