This adjustment is being made to facilitate a statutory safety inspection prior to the opening of a new section.

According to a statement from BMRCL, the inspection of the newly constructed extension line between Nagasandra and Madavara Metro stations will be conducted by the Commissioner of Metro Railway Safety (Southern Circle).

As a result, Metro operations on the Green Line will be modified from 10 am to 2 pm on that day.
