Technical Glitch at Hyderabad Metro Stations Leads to Long Queues

Commuters across Hyderabad experienced significant delays and disruption on Saturday following a technical glitch at several metro stations.

The disruption occurred when scanners at both entry and exit gates abruptly stopped functioning. As a result, passengers attempting to use digital QR codes were unable to scan their tickets to enter platforms or exit stations.

The malfunction led to long queues building up near the automatic fare collection gates. Large crowds of commuters were left waiting at station concourses while transit authorities worked to resolve the issue.

The technical failure caused widespread inconvenience, impacting passengers who rely on QR-based ticketing and online mobile ticketing services for their daily travel.

Metro personnel were deployed across affected stations to assist commuters, manage the crowd buildup, and work on restoring regular operations at the malfunctioning gate scanners.
