Metro MisInformation

Dwarka - Noida / Anand Vihar route is quite popular amongst Dwarkaites and carries maximum load on Delhi Metro. It remains busy throughout the day. Metro goes alternately to Noida and Anand Vihar respectively. On return route, metro alternately terminates at Dwarka station and goes inside Dwarka for different sectors. Routine announcement are made in metro terminating at Dwarka that all passengers bound for Dwarka sub city stations should get down at Dwarka Mor station as metro would not go inside Dwarka sub city, but terminate at Dwarka itself.

On Dwarka side, till some time ago, last station was Dwarka Sector-9. This was then extended to Dwarka Sector-21.

DMRC seems oblivious of this fact. Announcement being made in trains terminating at Dwarka still asks passengers to alight at Dwarka Mor and wait for next train to Dwarka sector-9. In fact, no metro signage shows sector-9 any more. Metro trains going inside Dwarka sub city show Sector-21 as last destination. This leads to confusion among passengers, specially among visitors to Dwarka.

DMRC is requsted to modify announcements immediately.
