The Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC) on Monday, September 29, addressed public queries regarding the open-to-air entry and exit points at the upcoming Hutatma Chowk Metro Station on Line-3. Posting on X, MMRC clarified that the station’s design was carefully planned to preserve the heritage character of DN Road and surrounding landmarks, including Flora Fountain and the Hutatma Chowk memorial. Except for lift shafts and select ventilation structures, all station components are constructed underground to maintain the visual and architectural integrity of the historic precinct. The open-to-sky entrances, designed using stone and glass without canopies, follow global practices for metro stations in heritage zones. MMRC also assured commuters that the escalators are fully suitable for outdoor use, with systems in place for rainwater drainage and flood prevention, ensuring safety. The design was developed in consultation with heritage architects and has received a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Mumbai Heritage Conservation Committee. MMRC emphasised that the open design is a conscious, approved, and heritage-sensitive choice, aimed at enhancing the urban character of this historic area while providing modern metro access.
