The Kavi Subhash-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.
