About 50 passengers who arrived at the MG Road metro station at 11 pm to catch the last train were shocked to find the gates locked.
A commuter who travels towards Silk Institute said that the station would remain open until 11.05 or 11.10 pm every day. “The last train is at 11.15 pm. Many people came 5-10 minutes early to catch the train. But the gates were shut, and there was no metro staffer to explain why," he added.
