Kolkata Metro has announced an extension in its service hours on Christmas night, as thousands of revelers are expected to travel to Park Street for celebrations. The last train on the Blue Line, running from New Garia to Dumdum, will depart at 11pm, one hour later than usual.

According to a statement from Metro Railway, late-night services will operate at a 7-minute interval from 3 pm to 8 pm. These adjustments are aimed at easing travel for the expected crowds on Christmas Day. The first service on the Blue Line will start at 6.50 am.

Park Street remains a prime destination for Christmas festivities, with past years seeing massive turnouts. On the Green Line-1, reduced services at a 20-minute interval will be offered from 6.55 am to 9.40 pm. Normal operations will be maintained on the other metro lines throughout the day.
