A terrifying evening for commuters in Gurugram! On Friday, a major transformer blast at the Sector 72 substation triggered a massive power outage across multiple sectors.

The blackout brought the Rapid Metro network to a complete halt for nearly 45 minutes during peak hours.

With temperatures soaring near 45°C, passengers were left stranded in darkened coaches.

Dramatic scenes unfolded as commuters were forced to evacuate the trains and walk along the elevated metro tracks to reach safety.

The explosion, caused by an oil leak and thermal heating, impacted seven substations and left thousands of residents in sweltering darkness.

Services have since been restored, but the incident has raised serious questions about the city's power infrastructure resilience.
