A new building of the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) Metro Police Station was today inaugurated at Aerocity Metro Station here.
According to a police release, "The average travel time from an Express Metro Station to a police station was about an hour and passengers travelling on this line had to go all the way to Raja Garden Metro station to lodge a complaint/FIR.
