Kolkata Metro Services Disrupted by Tunnel Water Seepage
On Monday, the Kolkata Metro's Blue Line had a problem.
Rainwater got into the tunnel between two stations, causing a delay.
For about two hours, the trains weren't running normally.
Instead of going the whole way, trains went from one station to another, bypassing the flooded section.
This happened during the morning when many people were trying to get to work.
The metro spokesperson gave details on the changes in service.
Metro services in Kolkata's Blue Line were disrupted.
The disruption lasted approximately two hours.
Rainwater seeped into the tunnel between Central and Chandni Chawk stations.
Truncated services were run during the disruption.
Services operated between Maidan and Kavi Subhas, and Girish Park and Dakshineswar.
