Bengaluru: Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) has announced a temporary curtailment of services on a section of the Green Line on October 3. The move is to facilitate a statutory safety inspection of the newly constructed extension between Nagasandra and Madavara Metro stations.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, BMRCL said that the Commissioner of Metro Railway Safety (Southern Circle) will conduct the inspection of the Nagasandra-Madavara extension. Due to this, train services between Nagasandra and Peenya Industry Metro stations will be halted from 10 am to 2 pm on that day.
However, trains will continue to operate between Peenya Industry and Silk Institute Metro stations during the curtailment period. The last train to Nagasandra before the suspension will depart from Silk Institute at 9 am.
