Namma Metro services will be suspended from 5 pm on Saturday till 7 am on Sunday between the Baiyappanahalli and MG Road stations on the Purple Line.
In a statement released on Friday, the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) cited civil maintenance works between the Trinity and Halasuru stations for the disruption in services.
However, trains on the Purple Line will be operated between the MG Road and Kengeri metro stations as per the schedule. Metro services on the Green Line will not be affected, the BMRCL said.
Being the first stretch of the Namma Metro Phase 1 to be inaugurated in August 2011, the Baiyappanahalli-MG Road section has seen repeated maintenance works over the last two years, including a major structural problem at the Trinity station.
Officials, however, insisted that such works were common with aging infrastructure.
