A technical snag in a Versova-bound Metro train at the Western Express Highway station on Thursday afternoon resulted in the evacuation of passengers around 12 pm. The passengers were asked to leave the train as a safety measure because one of the automatic doors was not closing.

An MMOPL spokesperson said, "The door of a Versova-bound service didn't close properly at Western Express Highway station around 11:55 am. The commuters were immediately evacuated and sent by the next service. The affected train was brought to the Metro depot for detailed checks and repairs, if required."
