Delhi’s metro map is set to change after Chief Minister Rekha Gupta officially announced the renaming of three metro stations on November 16. Addressing a gathering in Haiderpur village in northwest Delhi, the CM said the decision was taken to reflect local identity and make navigation easier for commuters.
As per the new naming list, Pitampura Metro Station has now been renamed Madhuban Chowk Metro Station. The upcoming station near VIPS College will be called Haiderpur Metro Station, while the proposed northern Pitampura station in Q-Block will now be named Uttari Pitampura–Prashant Vihar Metro Station.
Gupta said the government considered local sentiments before finalising the names. Residents of Haiderpur had been demanding that the metro station reflect their village name, stating that the land originally belonged to them. The CM confirmed that their demand has now been recognised officially.
The announcement coincided with the arrival of the Rezang La Shaheed Raj Kalash Yatra in Haiderpur, turning the event into an emotional tribute to Indian Army martyrs. Gupta paid respects to the urn and said the village was blessed to host the sacred procession honouring Rezang La heroes.
During her address, the Chief Minister also highlighted ongoing infrastructure projects in the region, including the widening of Max Hospital Road and the construction of a new underpass. These initiatives, she said, will significantly improve traffic flow and support long-term development.
“Our government is committed to ensuring overall growth and better connectivity for this region,” she added.
