Normal services resumed over the entire stretch of the Blue Line from 5.47 pm.

“The train came to an abrupt halt at Maidan. Announcements were made to vacate the rake immediately. We were told there was an obstruction on the tracks and service will resume once the obstruction is cleared,” said a passenger.

On the night of January 24, services were disrupted for 25 minutes as a passenger jumped before a running train.
