MLA Shankar Jagtap has suggested changing the name of the Pune Metro to “Pune Pimpri Chinchwad Metro.” This new name is to show that Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad are connected and work together on transportation. The idea was shared during a meeting about making public transport better for everyone.
Many people, including local leaders and community members, support this name change. They talked about it during a meeting organized by Maha Metro. This change fits well with the plans of the Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation, which wants to improve travel options and connections in the area.
Along with the name change, MLA Jagtap also wants to add Warakari art to the metro pillars. This will make the metro look special and show the local culture. By mixing traditional art with modern design, the metro can celebrate local history while also looking new and fresh.
The plan also includes building a new railway station at Pimpri Dairy Farm. This will help connect different types of transport, making it easier for people to travel around the city.
Changing the name is an important step to show that both Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad matter in the area’s growth. The new name will help everyone understand that both cities are working together for better public transport.
