Kolkata Metro Update: Line-2 to be Non-Operational on May 18 Due to Maintenance Work
Dubela, Prinona Ghosh: Kolkata Metro Rail Corporation has announced a complete traffic block on the Green Line-2 between Howrah Maidan on Sunday, May 18, 2025, due to urgent maintenance work. As a result, no metro services will be available on this stretch throughout the day. This disruption will affect commuters who rely on the east-west Green Line-2, which connects key transit points across the city. The Kolkata Metro has urged passengers to make alternative travel arrangements in advance and has apologized for the inconvenience caused.
However, there is some relief for commuters — the Blue Line (North-South Corridor) will continue to run as usual, remaining fully operational and unaffected by the maintenance. This scheduled maintenance is part of ongoing efforts to ensure passenger safety and improve infrastructure reliability across the network, as confirmed by officials. Although they did not provide specific details about the work, they emphasized the urgency of completing it without delay.
Commuters have been advised to check official metro announcements or follow Amar Metro’s social media handles for real-time updates on service restoration or further advisories. The metro authority has apologized for the inconvenience and assured the public that they are doing everything possible to restore normal services as quickly as possible once the maintenance is completed.
