KOLKATA: Metro Railway may extend its evening operations by one or one-and-a-half hours for revellers during the Puja days.
But in keeping with Calcutta High Court’s restrictions, the number of services will remain the same. Trains will be frequent as services may start only at 10am and not at 7.30am. But like last year, there will be no night-long services because of the pandemic.
Until 2019, Metro Railway ran services till 4am during the Durga Puja days. Just before Pujas last year, the high court had ordered not to allow crowds near the pandals and Metro Railway dropped the all-night special services between Saptami and Dashami for pandal-hoppers.
