Hyderabad - Technical glitch causes major inconvenience to Metro Commuters
Due to a technical issue, metro services on the LB Nagar-Miyapur route were substantially delayed on wednesday evening, causing passengers great discomfort. Three metro trains were forced to halt due to mechanical difficulties, which caused packed stations and carriages for a few hours. Heavy rains in the city made the problem worse by causing waterlogging and traffic jams, which made many people choose to take the metro.
Several images and videos of the commotion were posted online by irate passengers. But within a few hours, the problem was fixed, and the services were once again provided.

According to the statement, the problem was fixed in seven minutes when an alternate feeder at miyapur was linked, and train services soon resumed as usual.
