Karkarduma metro station
Karkarduma metro station is an interchange station on the Blue Line and the Pink Line of the Delhi Metro. It was inaugurated on 6 January 2010.[1][2] While the Blue Line station is at a height of 14.5 m, the Pink Line station, part of the Majlis Park-Shiv Vihar corridor of the Phase III expansion of Delhi Metro, is the second highest station of the Delhi Metro network with a platform height of 20m above ground level.[3]
The station is named after the Karkardooma locality in East Delhi, which derives its name from the historic twin village of Karkari.[4] The area is also home to the Karkardooma District Court, located in the Karkardooma Courts Complex, which was constructed in 1997–98.[5]
