A Blue Line metro train in Chennai suddenly stopped midway between two stations on Tuesday morning due to a technical fault. The incident occurred between the Central Metro and High Court stations. Passengers reported that the power went out suddenly, leaving them trapped in darkness inside the train.

Passengers remained on the train for 10 minutes. Afterward, officials asked them to walk to the nearby High Court station, a distance of approximately 500 meters. Videos circulating on social media showed people walking through the tunnel, holding onto railings.
