Tree Branch Disrupts Bengaluru Metro Purple Line Amid Heavy Evening Rain and Traffic DelaysPreviousNext

Namma Metro's Purple Line on Bengaluru's Whitefield corridor faced a temporary disruption Tuesday evening when a tree branch fell on the track between ITPL and Sathya Sai Hospital stations amid heavy rain. Train services were suspended from 6 p.m. to 6:35 p.m., affecting commuters during peak hours. BMRCL cleared the obstruction and restored operations. Concurrently, heavy rains caused flooding and uprooted trees across the city, leading to significant traffic slowdowns at multiple junctions and underpasses.
