Delhi Metro @ Gurgaon : Underground or above
Which is better? Above or under the ground? News is that the Delhi Metro in Gurgaon will be above the Ground. The metro will be under the ground right from Central Secretariat to Saket and after Saket, it will be above the ground coming from Qutub Minar, Andheria Mor, Rajokri, and entering Gurgaon from Sikarnderpur to DT Mall and finally ending at IFFCO Chowk (I donno what are the further plans).
If its above the Ground, then its for sure that the aesthetics and beauty of the Malls on the Mehrauli – Gurgaon road are going to shatter. No doubt that it will improve the local transport facilities, but when I see the Radisson Hotel, Delhi on the National Highway just behind the flyover at the Mahipalpur Chowk, I feel pity from the bottom of my heart that such a beautiful structure is now hidden behind the heavy columns of the Highway.
