According to officials from the BMRCL, the issue, which occurred at around 8:30 am, was traced to a fault in the braking system of one of the trains, a report by the Deccan Herald said. It was an issue with the brakes, and the technical team immediately went to the spot and resolved the issue, a BMRCL spokesperson said, as quoted in the report.

“The technical issue has been resolved at 08:47 AM, and all Yellow Line trains are now back in service as usual. Train services have resumed and will now operate according to the scheduled timetable. For the information of our metro passengers,” a separate post by the BMRCL said.
