Lucknow metro comes to a premature halt on day one
The train was stranded for nearly an hour between Mawaiya and Durgapuri stations as passengers complained of suffocation and high temperatures inside the compartments.
Earlier in the day, proceedings were flagged off by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and union Home Minister Rajnath Singh, who also happens to be from the same state.
Following the inaugural ceremony, Singh had tweeted, "Enjoyed my maiden ride in Lucknow Metro today. Now Lucknow will also be known as 'Metro Ka Shahar'. Thank you E Sreedharan ji & Team LMRC."
