Namma Metro services in Bengaluru will be disrupted along the purple line from Friday to Monday as authorities commission work for the line's expansion. According to Times Now, services between Mysore Road and Kengeri metro stations will be affected.

Every day, from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m., the metro runs. The disruption, though, is expected to last four days.

The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) has told the media that metro trains will not operate between Mysore Road and Kengeri stations from Friday to Monday as officials prepare to extend the line beyond Kengeri to Challaghatta.

During this time, trains on the purple line will only be operated between Baiyappanahalli and Mysuru Road metro stations. Services are set to resume on Tuesday morning at 5.00 am till Kengeri station on the purple line as per normal schedule. Operations and services on the green line of the Namma Metro will remain unaffected.

"Commuters are requested to co-operate to enable speeding up of the commissioning works of extension line beyond Kengeri," A press release issued by the BMRCL stated.

This comes in the midst of several metro works that are being escalated to give Bengaluru residents three new stretches this year, connecting several areas of the city and making commute easier.

Bengaluru's metro has also been in the news for recording three separate accidents near its construction sites that took place within a span of 15 days.
