Power Trip Disrupts Metro Station Facilities
On Friday evening, some stations on the Kolkata Metro's Airport–Noapara line had a problem with their electricity.
This made the escalators and lifts stop working for about 30 minutes.
The stations affected were Jai Hind Bimanbandar, Dum Dum Cantonment, and Jessore Road.
However, the trains themselves were not affected, so people could still travel on the Metro.
The issue started at 7:27 PM and was fixed after that time.
