Kolkata Metro’s Blue Line sees brief service disruption after an attempted suicide at Kalighat station on Saturday morning. Reports say the incident occurs at about 7:20 am, prompting metro staff to respond quickly and emergency teams to assist. Services are temporarily halted and then run in a truncated pattern to manage operations while the situation is handled. One report describes service being stopped for roughly 25 minutes, after which normal operations across the entire Blue Line resume. Another report specifies that truncated services operate between Maidan and Dakshineswar, and also between Mahanayak Uttam Kumar and Shahid Khudiram stations during the interruption. After the person is rescued and the immediate response concludes, operations return to regular schedules and passenger movement is restored. Both accounts agree that staff and emergency responders act promptly and that disruption is limited in duration.
