Kolkata Metro Announces Special Puja Services and Operational Changes
The Kolkata Metro is changing how the Blue Line trains will run during Durga Puja, a big festival.
Because of some repairs, trains are taking longer to turn around.
To fix this, some trains will now turn back at a different station after passengers get off.
Also, trains from an old car shed will be used.
They're running extra lines (Yellow, Green, Purple).
The goal is to avoid delays and manage the big crowds expected, when many more people ride the metro.
Passengers should use the Metro's app or Smart Cards for tickets to speed things up.
