KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 29 — The Kelana Jaya Light Rail Transit line was disrupted this afternoon after the Passenger Intruder Emergency System was suddenly activated due to a suspected lightning strike at the Kerinchi station.

In a statement today, Rapid Rail Sdn Bhd , the operator of the Rapid KL rail network, said the 5.46pm incident resulted in a technical glitch that caused the inability of trains from both directions to pass through the affected areas. “As a result of the disruption, all trains passing through the area had to be manually controlled. This led to delays in the timetable and congestion at several stations,” it said.Free shuttle bus services have been provided to take passengers from Bangsar LRT station to Pasar Seni LRT station and KLCC LRT station to Pasar Seni LRT station.

Operation staff and auxiliary police personnel have been also stationed on the platform to manage the crowds. Rapid Rail also apologised to passengers who experienced difficulties due to the disruption. — Bernama
