Kolkata Metro Railway has announced special arrangements for Kali Puja by extending train services on Sunday. The decision has been taken to help devotees travel conveniently to popular temples at Dakshineswar and Kalighat.
On the Blue Line, metro services will begin earlier than usual. The first train from Noapara will leave at 7:54 am, while services from Dakshineswar will start at 8 am. Trains from Shahid Khudiram and Mahanayak Uttam Kumar will also begin at 8 am instead of the usual 9 am.
Metro services will also continue until late at night. The last train from Dakshineswar to Shahid Khudiram will depart at 10:40 pm. Services on other specified routes will run until 11 pm.
On the Green Line, the first train from Howrah Maidan to Salt Lake Sector V will start at 8 am. The return service will begin at 8:02 am. The last trains from both ends will depart at 11 pm.
However, there will be no changes in the Yellow Line schedule. The Purple and Orange Lines will remain closed as usual on Sunday.
These special arrangements aim to make festival travel easier for passengers and devotees.
