In March 2019, two stations on the 9.4-km-long Dilshad Garden-New Bus Adda section, an extension of the Delhi Metro’s Red Line, were renamed by the DMRC in honour of the country’s fallen heroes, a DMRC official said on Friday.
The Rajendra Nagar Metro Station was rechristened as Major Mohit Sharma Rajendra Nagar Station and the end station New Bus Adda, was renamed to Shaheed Sthal (New Bus Adda). In September 2016, the DMRC had changed the name of Race Course Road to ‘Lok Kalyan Marg’.
