PUNE: In a recent occurrence that disrupted the Pune Metro service, a situation arose where the doors of a Metro train failed to open, leading to a state of panic among the passengers. This incident unfolded at Shivajinagar station during the evening hours.
Upon reaching out for clarification, Shravan Hardikar, the Managing Director of Maha Metro, informed that the doors remained locked due to a technical glitch.
