NEW DELHI: Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) announced the plan to change the name of the Huda City Centre station of the Yellow Line metro to Millennium City Centre Gurugram just after revealing the plan to rechristen Gurugram City Centre.
HUDA City Centre connects Gurugram, an IT and commercial hub in the National Capital Region (NCR), with the rest of the union territory. The city is also known as Millennium City.
The proposal to change the name of the metro station was endorsed by both the Central Government and the Government of Haryana.
Earlier, the DMRC tweeted, “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, another tweet was posted by DMRC, which read, “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.” Commuters are still puzzled over the rationale behind changing the name of the stations. There has been no clarity on what grounds the decision to change the name was taken on the part of the officials as well.
