NEW DELHI: Durgabai Deshmukh South Campus and Sir Vishweshwaraiah Moti Bagh stations on the Delhi Metro Pink Line didn't elevate the title of the 2 personalities within the authentic plan and so they had been rechristened on the recommendations of a panel, which had recommended renaming of 8 different names on the community, in line with resources.
Durgabai Deshmukh South Campus station, named after the freedom fighter, social employee and educationist, is a part of the Pink Line corridor inaugurated in mid-March, and Sir Vishweshwaraiah Moti Bagh station, anticipated to open quickly, intends to beef up the legacy of the legendary engineer-scholar.
Both places are among the 10 stations whose names had been modified following recommendations of the committee set up for reanaming metro stations, the resources said.
"The other stations include Tughlakabad (changed to Tughlakabad Station), Okhla (to Harkesh Nagar Okhla), Badarpur (to Badarpur Border) on Violet Line; Okhla-Phase III (to Okhla NSIC) on Magenta Line and Ghevra (Ghevra Metro Station) on Green Line," a source told PTI.
On the proposed corridor from Dwarka-Dhansa bus stand, two stations had been renamed after the panel's recommendations - Municipal Corporation (to Najafgarh) and Najafgarh Depot Station (to Nangli).
The adjustments had been approved through the Delhi government, the resources said, including that the original plan of the Majlis Park-South Campus corridor of Pink Line only mentioned the 2 stations as South Campus and Moti Bagh stations.
Deshmukh used to be instrumental in putting in the Sri Venkateswara College, part of the Delhi University's South Campus. The station is positioned within the vicinity of the varsity. The rechristening, in a nod to her legacy, used to be done prior to the outlet of the Pink Line corridor.
Incidentally, the 2 stations are the first ones on the DMRC community to have been named after personalities, and Durgabai Deshmukh South Campus is the first metro station to carry the title of a feminine luminary.
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation has also renamed a few of its stations as part of its co-branding coverage. As many as 41 stations have been taken up underneath the coverage and plenty of have been co-branded while others are in pipeline, the resources said.
Three stations on the Kalkaji Mandir-Janakpuri West corridor on Magenta Line - set to be inaugurated the next day to come - have been integrated within the co-branding workout - IIT, Greater Kailalsh and Terminal 1-IGI Airport.
