Kolkata Metro Reduces Blue and Green Line Services on Independence DayPreviousNext

On Independence Day, Kolkata Metro will operate reduced services on the Blue and Green lines, with 194 and 148 trains respectively, while maintaining usual first and last train timings. The Yellow and Purple lines will run normal services, though the Yellow Line will have one fewer direct service between Jai Hind Bimanbandar and Noapara. The Orange Line will remain closed on August 15. These adjustments reflect the city's holiday schedule, with commuters advised to plan accordingly.
