A political controversy has emerged in Mumbai as Congress accuses the BJP-led government of deliberately removing "Nehru" from the Metro Line-3 station name serving the Nehru Science Centre in Worli. The Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation defends the designation as "Science Centre" based on official 2013 documentation, while Congress views it as part of a pattern to erase former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru's legacy from public spaces.
