Hyderabad: Hyderabad Metro Rail services were briefly disrupted on Monday evening following heavy rains and strong winds that led to a foreign object falling onto the overhead power supply line between Khairatabad and Erram Manzil stations.
L&T Hyderabad Metro Rail confirmed the incident through an official update, stating that the impact affected train movement on that stretch. In response, metro authorities immediately activated contingency measures and resumed services under a single-line operation to minimise commuter inconvenience.
