more-inThe decision to shift the location of Cantonment metro station to a playground from land adjoining Cantonment Railway Station is likely to be met with stiff opposition. The biggest surprise was the location of the metro station at Cantonment, which was expected to be integrated with the railway station. BMRCL claimed that acquiring the playground temporarily from the BBMP would be easier than acquiring railway land. However, South Western Railways issued a statement that it has no problem allotting land for the metro station. BMRCL is expected to restore the playground after building a station underground, but students will be left without an open space for a few years.
