The Namma Metro service was disrupted for two hours on Thursday morning after BMRC began testing a battery-operated train at 6 am. This resulted in a technical snag between SV Road and Indiranagar stations.
    Mahi Singh was among the hundreds who were stunned when Metro service was halted from 6am to 8am, due to derailing of a battery-operated loco on the main lines.
    Metro officials said the lines had to be cleared for regular operations and that took until 8am. “One line was open after 8am and trains were made to run between MG Road and Byappanahalli only on that line till 10.15am. The operations were regularized from 10.20am,” said a Bangalore Metro spokesperson.
    Metro officials sent rescue vans to clear the lines. The lines were restored after BMRCL MD N Sivasailam went on the train to ensure everything was in place.
