Kolkata Metro Blue Line Resumes After Early Morning Signalling Maintenance
The trains on Kolkata Metro's Blue Line had a small problem on Friday morning.
The train service was stopped for a little while between two stations, Shahid Khudiram and Girish Park.
This happened because the grown-ups who run the metro needed to fix the automatic signals quickly to make sure they work safely.
They told everyone why it was happening, and thankfully, they fixed it really fast, before most people needed to go to work.
Even though it was fixed quickly, some people who use the metro often have been worried about other times the trains have stopped or had problems recently.
By the end of the morning, all the trains were running normally again.
Kolkata Metro's Blue Line experienced a brief disruption early Friday morning.
Services were truncated between Shahid Khudiram and Girish Park due to urgent signalling maintenance.
Normal operations resumed across the full stretch before peak office hours.
The maintenance was deemed necessary for the safe and reliable functioning of the auto signalling system.
The disruption occurred amid ongoing commuter concerns about recent metro glitches and delays.
