Kolkata Metro Blue Line Disrupted by Jump Incident, Services Restored

• Kolkata Metro's Blue Line service was disrupted on Sunday due to a jump incident at Netaji Bhavan station.
• The incident occurred on the line from Tollygunge towards Rabindra Sadan, suspending services between Dakshineswar and Shahid Khudiram to Mahanayak Uttam Kumar stations from 6:32 PM.
• Commuters faced inconvenience, especially during peak hours, though Sunday being a holiday mitigated some issues for office-goers.
• This is not the first such incident; a similar suicide attempt occurred at Maidan station on the Blue Line last December, suspending services for an hour.
• Kolkata Metro announced additional Sunday services in January on both Blue and Green Lines to facilitate passenger travel.

Why It Matters: Kolkata Metro Blue Line services were temporarily halted due to a jump incident but quickly restored.
