The disruption has been planned to facilitate maintenance work between Gitanjali and Kavi Nazrul stations. The work will be carried out during traffic and power blocks on the stretch.
However, services between Dakshineswar and Mahanayak Uttam Kumar will continue to operate normally during the affected period.
Metro services across the full Blue Line corridor, connecting Dakshineswar with Shahid Khudiram, are expected to resume normal operations from Sunday evening.
The Blue Line is among the busiest corridors of the Kolkata Metro network and caters to a large number of daily commuters.
The temporary closure is likely to inconvenience passengers travelling from the southern parts of the city, particularly those heading towards popular Puja shopping hubs such as Lake Market and Esplanade.
