Bengaluru: Namma Metro Green Line services disrupted due to technical problem
Passengers struggle for transport on Tuesday morning
Bengaluru: The 'Namma Metro' Green Line services were disrupted between Yeshwantpur and Mantri Square Sampige Road on Tuesday morning, due to technical glitch on the line, with the Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) apologizing to the metro passengers for the inconvenience caused.
BMRCL posted on its X account early Tuesday morning, "Namma Metro commuters may kindly note . Train services on Green line will be available between Nagasandra to Yeshwanthpur and Mantri Square - Sampige Road to Silk Institute Metro stations due to a technical snag at Rajajinagar Metro Station . Inconvenience caused is regretted."
Chief Public Relations Officer BL Yashwanth Chavan explained that the 30-km long Green Line services connecting Nagasandra to the Silk Institute were affected as an emergency recovery road-rail vehicle, used to recover damaged trains and to undertake maintenance work, had broken down between the Mahakavi Kuvempu Road and the Rajajinagar stations of Namma Metro. "We are working at removing the vehicle and restoring the train services. At present, however, Namma Metro is carrying out single-line operations with reduced frequency on the affected section," said Chavan, adding that the train services on the other sections of the Green Line as well as the Purple Line, which links Baiyappanahalli to Kengeri and Whitefield to KR Puram, are working as normal.
Many passengers on the Green Line, especially those returning home after a mini-holiday during the weekend, struggled for transport services. The stations on the line, including Yeshwantpur, were heavily crowded due to the disruption of the Metro services. While some of the passengers complained on X about the slow pace of the trains, some others shared their difficulties regarding the rush in the trains whose number was far lower than normal. Many stated that boarding the trains was extremely difficult for the passengers and that others stretches on the Green Line too had been greatly affected by the problem between Yeshwantpur and Mantri Square Sampige Road.
The Namma Metro officials clarified that the BMRCL had deployed additional buses between the Yeshwantpur Metro station and the Kempegowda Bus Station (Majestic) following the disruption. The officials have also assured that the services will be resumed shortly.

US rules out use of nuclear weapons against Iran
Washington DC: The White House has reportedly ruled out the use of nuclear weapons against Iran, even as uncertainty continues over ongoing peace negotiations and a deadline set by US President Donald Trump approaches.
Issues bout a possible escalation had increased after US Vice President JD Vance said that the United States has “tools in our toolkit that we so far haven’t decided to use” in dealing with Iran.
His remarks came amid rising tensions and ahead of a deadline linked to peace efforts.
The situation has attracted attention as Trump warned Iran that its “whole civilization will die tonight tonight” if an agreement is not reached by Tuesday at 8 pm.
This statement led to speculation about the possibility of extreme military measures, including a nuclear strike.
Following Vance’s comments, the White House issued a clarification distancing itself from such interpretations. In a post on X, it said, "Literally nothing @VP said here 'implies' this, you absolute buffoons." In a later statement, it added that “only the president knows” what action will be taken regarding Iran.
