The proposed Metro station inside the Jamia Milia Islamia campus in New Delhi has landed in a controversy with Law Minister Salman Khurshid and Vice Chancellor Najib Jung opposing the move saying it would bring in security issues and may disrupt campus life.
However, people in the area think the Metro connectivity will be a big boon for the area and will also benefit the students of the Central University.
Khurshid had red-flagged the construction of the Jamia Nagar station reportedly saying that the station could prove to be a security threat and “spoil the sanctity” of the institute.
Two stations have been proposed on either side of the road that leads to the campus, one near Escorts Hospital and the other close to Jamia police station.
“It is not needed to have a station inside the campus,” the VC said.
