Kolkata Metro services on the Blue Line were disrupted on Saturday afternoon after a suicide attempt at Kalighat station triggered an emergency response and partial suspension of train operations. The incident occurred at around 1.06 pm on the Dum Dum-bound (up) line when a passenger allegedly jumped in front of the approaching train. Metro officials said normal services would resume only after the rescue operation is completed. This is the fourth such incident on the Kolkata Metro network this year, highlighting a growing pattern of disruptions. Similar incidents at Rabindra Sarobar station in February had also led to significant delays in services.
