Congress Protests Nehru Omission From Worli Metro Station Name as MMRC Cites 2013 Record

The complaint surfaced after Line 3 opened on October 9, with officials pointing to a past gazette entry.

Overview

  • MMRC says the Worli station is officially listed as Science Centre, revised from a 2013 draft that called it Science Museum to match the adjacent building’s name.
  • Sachin Sawant of the Mumbai Congress alleges deliberate erasure of Jawaharlal Nehru’s name and demands that it be reinstated at the station.
  • Maharashtra BJP spokesperson Keshav Upadhye rejects the charge, calling the matter technical and saying he needs more information.
  • BJP leaders highlight a 2013 government gazette from the Congress era that referred to the stop as Science Museum rather than Nehru Science Centre.
  • No formal change to the station name has been announced, even as the fully operational 33.5-km Aqua Line has put the naming under fresh scrutiny.
