Summary:
"We have received several demands of renaming Metro stations, including Sonapur Metro station. Sonapur Metro station is part of Wadala-Thane-Kasarvadavli Metro-4 corridor for which civil construction work started earlier this year. However, Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has now another demand, which is changing the name of Sonapur Metro station, in Bhandup, to Dr Hedgekar Metro station. Politicians suggesting names or renames for airports, railway stations and metro stations are not new. Earlier in 2017, there was a demand to name JVLR Metro station on Western Express Highway (WEH) as Bal Thackeray Trauma Care Centre Metro station by Shiv Sena Minister Ravindra Waikar citing there is trauma centre named by the same name nearby..
