Mumbai Metro Line 3, or the Aqua Line, will run throughout the night on Friday, September 25, to support devotees travelling for Ganpati visarjan on Anant Chaturdashi.
The overnight service is aimed at easing travel as immersion processions continue late into the night and spill into the early hours of Saturday. Devotees returning after witnessing the processions will have an additional public transport option instead of depending entirely on private vehicles.
Ganpati immersion processions traditionally continue for several hours on Anant Chaturdashi, particularly as major mandals begin their journeys towards Mumbai’s prominent immersion points.
The extended Metro operation comes as large crowds are expected across Mumbai for the final day of the Ganeshotsav celebrations.
Metro services across the city have also been extended on occasions during the festival to accommodate devotees travelling late at night for darshan and pandal visits. The overnight Line 3 service on the immersion day will provide another option for passengers travelling after normal operating hours.
