Suicide at Metro, services partially disrupted

Metro railway services in the city were partially disrupted today after a woman committed suicide on its tracks.

A Metro Railway spokesperson said the woman jumped before an approaching train from the down platform side at M G Road station at around 5.24 pm and died on the spot.

Train services in both up and down sections between Dumdum to Maidan stations were disrupted as a result but services resumed after about another half an hour.

The mishap did not impede Metro services along the Kabi Subhas-Maidan down line, the spokesperson said.
