Mumbai Metro 3's Aqua Line experienced a technical glitch at Churchgate Station on Tuesday afternoon, leaving six passengers trapped in an elevator for five minutes. The lift, specifically Lift No. 5, became stuck between two floors, requiring immediate attention from the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC). Despite the inconvenience, all passengers were safely evacuated within a short timeframe, with no injuries reported.
The incident prompted a photograph to surface, capturing the passengers inside the glass elevator. The MMRC swiftly addressed the issue and restored the lift's functionality, ensuring normal operations on the Aqua Line. Churchgate Station remains a crucial hub on Mumbai Metro Line 3, connecting popular southern Mumbai locales with the city's northern outskirts.
