Thousands of commuters on the Purple Line of Namma Metro in Bengaluru faced inconvenience for a few hours on February 20 morning after movement of trains was disrupted due to a technical snag.
Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) fixed the problem around 9.20 a.m., and train services were restored to normal at 9.22 a.m.
According to BMRCL, there was a communication problem in the signalling system between Baiyappanahalli and Garudacharpalya. The snag resulted in slow movement of trains between these stations.
Large crowds were seen waiting for trains at several stations. To ease the passenger traffic, the BMRCL ran three short-loop trains between Majestic and Baiyappanahalli.
Political economist Parakala Prabhakar has described the exit poll results as “fudged figures”, saying that those would benefit the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) only. “False predictions were given with the sole objective of helping the NDA in rigging during the counting,” alleged Mr. Prabhakar, after releasing a book titled ‘Avineeti Chakravarthi Narendra Modi’ penned by former Minister Vadde Shobanadreeswara Rao, here, on June 2 (Sunday).
