The BMRCL has decided to rename six stations on the Whitefield-KR Puram metro line, to be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Saturday.
The new names will reflect the local landmark and the culture of the areas surrounding each station.
Accordingly, the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) has rechristened KR Pura as Krishnarajapura, Hoodi Junction as Hoodi, Kadugodi as Kadugodi Tree Park, Mahadevapura as Singayyappanapalya, Channasandra as Hopefarm Channasandra, and Whitefield as Whitefield (Kadugodi).
