Ghaziabad | Thursday | 6th September, 2018

Summary:

“Hence, we have decided to do away with the Vasundhara Sector 14 station station on the Vaishali to Mohan Nagar line. “Since we already have Prahlad Garhi in Vasundhara, it won’t defeat the purpose of connecting the township with the metro line,” said Maheshwari. Maheshwari said she did not think dropping one station would make a difference as Vasundhara would be well connected. We have been deliberating on ways to bring down the cost of the project,” said Ritu Maheshwari, vice-chairperson of the GDA and also the district magistrate. The cost if this section has been pegged at Rs 1,785 crore,” she added.In the DPR submitted in March, the four stations planned on the route were Prahlad Garhi, Vasundhara Sector 14, Sahibabad and Mohan Nagar..
