Metro rail services in the capital have been temporarily suspended after a cat entered the tracks, prompting authorities to halt operations due to security reasons. The incident occurred at around 11:40 AM today, Saturday. However, the exact station or the specific section of the line where the cat entered could not be immediately confirmed.

An official from the metro rail operating authority informed the media that train operations were temporarily stopped for the sake of safety after the cat made its way into the station area.

Operations will resume as soon as the issue is resolved and safety risks are completely cleared.
