The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) will rename the HUDA City Centre metro station on the Yellow Line as ‘Millennium City Centre Gurugram’, said officials on Monday, adding that it falls in Haryana’s Gurugram.
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) said, “A decision has been taken to rename the HUDA City Centre Metro station on Yellow Line as Gurugram City Centre. Accordingly, the process of changing the name in all official documents, signage, announcements etc. has been initiated and shall be changed gradually."
Later the DMRC posted another tweet where it was mentioned that the HUDA City Centre Metro station would be renamed ‘Millennium City Centre’ and not ‘Gurugram city centre’, as was planned earlier.
Notably, this is the second rechristening effort made by the DMRC in a span og just three hours.
“In partial modification of the earlier announcement regarding the renaming of the HUDA City Centre Metro station on Yellow Line, it has now been decided by competent authorities to rename the station as Millennium City Centre,” DMRC’s second tweet read.
The DMRC made a third attempt and ‘hopefully’ the final attempt at renaming the HUDA City Centre Metro station. This time they named it- Millennium City Centre Gurugram.
Taking to Twitter yet aagin, the DMRC informed, “In reference to our earlier tweet regarding the renaming of the HUDA City Centre Metro station, this is to inform that the full name of the station will read as Millennium City Centre Gurugram.”.
Officials familiar with the development told the news agency PTI that a request to rename the station had come from both the Centre and the Haryana government.
Last year, the Public Investment Board cleared the 28.5-km-long metro corridor between HUDA City Centre and Cyber City in Gurugram.
Haryana Chief Secretary Sanjeev Kaushal applauded the efforts made by the Haryana Mass Rapid Transport Corporation team for getting the project cleared from the Board.
He said it would give an efficient and environment-friendly transport system to the public of Haryana especially those living in Gurugram and its vicinity.
This will give seamless connectivity from Gurugram to Indira Gandhi International Airport.
