What’s in a name? That which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet’ go the Shakespearean lines. But apparently, there is a lot to a name, especially if you are a Mumbai Metro commuter.

The names of three stations on the Metro Yellow Line 2A—which runs along the New Link Road from Dahisar East to DN Nagar—have been formally changed following public consultations. Passengers had said they find some of the names confusing, after which the Pahadi Eksar station was renamed Shimpoli, while the names of Valnai and Pahadi Goregaon stations were changed to Valnai-Meeth Chowky and Bangur Nagar, respectively, as reported by mid-day.
