Metro services will be
suspended from 5.30am to 7.30am on January 24-26 because of a mega
block. This is the first time since Metro's inauguration on June 8,
2014, that such a block will be held for maintenance work. The
authorities have chosen the three days as they will coincide with a
weekend and the Republic Day holiday , when the rush will be less.
“During the two-hour mega block on the three days, periodic preventive maintenance of the Metro will be undertaken. Regular announcements inside trains and stations will be made to update commuters,“ said a Mumbai Metro One Private Ltd (MMOPL) official.
An official said maintenance work is carried out daily after midnight. “But the technical staff proposed that we should conduct extensive work on the entire network, including rolling stock, overhead equipment wires, tracks and the signalling system. So, we are holding the blocks,“ he said.
