New Delhi sources stated that a DMRC official said two stations on the 9.4 km long Dilshad Garden-New Bus Adda section, an extension of the Delhi Metro's Red Line, have been renamed in honor of the country's fallen heroes. The official said "The Rajendra Nagar Metro Station has been rechristened as Major Mohit Sharma Rajendra Nagar station and the end station New Bus Adda has been renamed to Shaheed Sthal (New Bus Adda)”.



Meanwhile the decision comes at a time when the nation is still mourning the death of 40 CRPF jawans, who were killed in a deadly terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama district on February 14. Furthermore after the opening of the section, the Delhi Metro network will span 336.6 km with 244 metro stations. He added "It would also be the first time, when any station in the existing DMRC network in Uttar Pradesh, would carry the name of a martyr”.

Moreover the other six stations on the Red Line extension stretch are Shahid Nagar, Raj Bagh, Shyam Park, Mohan Nagar, Arthala and Hindon River Station. Apparently with this new section, the Delhi Metro will foray into the interiors of Ghaziabad for the first time, touching the industrial areas in twin cities of Ghaziabad and Sahibabad.
