Haryana to change names of Metro stations in state

Metro rail stations in Haryana will have new names, with the Haryana government on Tuesday announcing setting up of a four-member committee to frame the policy and to consider the change in the name of Metro stations falling in the state.

"The additional chief secretary, Town and Country Planning, would be the chairman of the committee, while chief administrator, Haryana Urban Development Authority cum managing director, Haryana Mass Rapid Transport Corporation, would be the nodal officers of the committee.

"The deputy commissioner of the concerned district would be its member secretary and principal secretary, Urban Local Bodies, would be a member of the committee," a Haryana government spokesman said here.

The Delhi Metro links up to towns in Haryana adjoining the national capital. Haryana surrounds Delhi on three sides and most areas in the state falling in the National Capital Regionare likely to be linked through the Delhi Metro.
