The Kolkata Metro will now make traveling to the pandals this Puja easier if you intend to spend the night outside. During the main festival days, metro services will operate nearly around the clock, making it very convenient to travel within the city and its environs.
The Metro Railway has chosen to operate the metro all night and has extended service hours on a number of routes in consideration of the holiday demand.
