Kolkata, Feb 13 (IANS) The Kolkata Metro Railway services were partially disrupted on Wednesday after a train got stuck between Dum Dum and Belgachia stations following a power supply breakdown, an official said.
The Kavi Subhas-bound metro got stuck after power supply from the third rail stopped.
The passengers were evacuated, and a truncated service was being run from Kavi Subhas to Girish Park stations.
Senior metro railway officials, Railway Protection Force (RPF) personnel, disaster management teams and a Kolkata police contingent were at the spot.
