GHAZIABAD: The Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) is deliberating upon extending the Pink Line of the Delhi Metro from the current termination station of Shiv Vihar to Mandola in Loni town, said officials in the know of the matter on Thursday.

The move comes after the UP housing and urban planning department sought a report from the authority on the basis of repeated requests made by residents to the ministry of housing affairs.

Delhi Metro's Pink Line from Majlis Park ends at Shiv Vihar station in Ghaziabad's Loni. But residents have been demanding that the line be extended further to Mandola which is about 10km from Shiv Vihar and runs right through Loni town.
