Green Line services of Namma Metro in Bengaluru were disrupted for about 45 minutes on July 21 morning peak hours following a power breakdown, forcing Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) to suspend train operations between Yeshwanthpur and Madavara. Normal services resumed at 8.45 a.m.
