The clamour for renaming a station on the DN Nagar-Dahisar Metro line 2A has become shriller ahead of its planned operation from next year. The residents of Anand Nagar in Dahisar have demanded that the Upper Dahisar station be given a name that resonates better with the area where it is located.

The locals have written to MLA Vinod Ghosalkar and guardian minister Aaditya Thackeray, urging them to rename the station as Anand Nagar Metro station.
