Normal services have resumed on Bengaluru's Purple Line after the Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) successfully rectified a technical snag. The issue occurred on Tuesday evening at the Cubbon Park Metro Station, disrupting services during peak commuting hours.

The disruption led to significant crowding at stations like Cubbon Park and MG Road. Many office-goers heading home were stranded, forcing them to seek alternative transportation such as autos and app-based cabs.

The Purple Line connects Whitefield (Kadugodi) in the east to Challaghatta in the southwest. BMRCL's dedicated Operations and Maintenance team worked to resolve the technical problem. Normal services across the entire Purple Line are now operating according to the regular timetable since 5 AM today.

BMRCL expressed gratitude to all commuters for their patience, understanding, and cooperation during the temporary service disruption. The corporation emphasized the continued availability of Namma Metro's safe, reliable, and efficient services.
