KUALA LUMPUR – Commuters on the Kelana Jaya LRT line had to suffer delays today due to a small fire on the Kelana Jaya Station tracks.

RapidKL announced service disruptions at 2.02pm in a post on X, informing commuters of turn backs and alternative shuttle train services.

Trains from Putra Heights had to turn back at the Ara Damansara Station, and commuters heading onward had to switch to a shuttle train to Kelana Jaya.
