A gazette notification will soon be issued regarding changing the names of the stations.
If you travel by Pune Metro, then there is an update for you. In the coming 10-15 days, the names of some stations on the Pune Metro network are going to be changed. A Maha Metro official said that preparations are being made to do this in view of the continuous demand. According to the news of Financial Express, last year, Maha Metro had proposed to change the names of Bhosari, Budhwar Peth and Mangalwar Peth stations. Now Maha Metro says that a gazette notification will soon be issued regarding changing the names of the stations.
What will be the changed names
According to reports, Bhosari station in Pimpri-Chinchwad on Corridor One will be renamed as Nasik Phata. Meanwhile, Budhwar Peth station will be renamed as Kasba Peth and Mangalwar Peth station will be renamed as RTO. The naming of Bhosari station caused a lot of confusion among commuters as though the suburb of Bhosari is 5 km away from the metro line, the station is still named as Bhosari. It is said that it should have been named as Nasik Phata station as it is actually located there.
There was also a request to change the name of Budhwar Peth station
According to the report, commuters had also requested to rename Budhwar Peth station, as Budhwar Peth is commonly associated with Pune’s red-light district. Since the RTO office is located in Mangalwar Peth, commuters suggested renaming the station to RTO station. Hardikar mentioned that the Civil Court station was renamed to District Court a month ago in response to demands from the legal community.
