Kolkata Metro Suspends Services at Kavi Subhas After Platform Cracks Detected

Damage caused by monsoon-soaked platform settlement is being assessed to plan repairs for safe restoration of service.

Overview

  • Blue Line trains continue running between Shahid Khudiram and Dakshineswar with empty rakes reversing at Kavi Subhas for maintenance operations.
