Mumbai: The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has decided to rename 15 of the total 17 stations on the Dahisar-DN Nagar Metro-2A line. Officials have said that station names were changed in response to demands from citizens and to make them more location-specific.
For instance, the Upper Dahisar station was renamed as Anand Nagar station on the demand of the residents of the Anand Nagar area, where the station is located.
SVR Srinivas, Metropolitan Commissioner of the MMRDA, said that a committee was formed and whatever changes were made, it was done on requests from locals and the locality. “For example, in the case of Dahisar, one station was named as Upper Dahisar Metro station but we changed it to Anand Nagar Metro station because it truly represents the area there,” Srinivas said.
