Hundreds of commuters, including many office-goers, were inconvenienced on a busy Monday morning by the delay in the operations of two trains on the Bengaluru–Mysuru line owing to disruption in power supply.
Officials of South Western Railway (SWR) said that, around 9 a.m., a cable of the overhead electricity supply line was found hanging near the Nayandahalli foot overbridge. Power supply was restored in 30 minutes. Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) Shyam Singh said that the reason for disruption in power supply is being investigated.
‘Operations of Mysuru-Bengaluru MEMU train (06256) and Chamundi Express (16215) got delayed due to power supply failure. Our officials are investigating the cause,” said Mr. Singh.
