The historic Malhar Ganj police station, built in 1949, has been razed to clear the site for an underground metro station in Indore.
The Malhar Ganj police station in Indore, a structure that stood for 74 years, was demolished this week to make way for a new underground metro station. The demolition is part of the city’s expanding metro network, which aims to improve urban mobility and reduce traffic congestion.
Constructed in 1949, the building served as a police outpost for generations before being shifted to the Jinsi area. Authorities moved the police operations to the new location prior to the demolition to ensure uninterrupted law‑enforcement services.
The cleared site will host a metro station on the upcoming underground route, linking central Indore with peripheral neighborhoods. Officials say the addition will shorten commute times and support the city’s broader public‑transport objectives.
The demolition was carried out under the supervision of municipal and metro authorities, who confirmed that all safety and environmental protocols were observed during the process.
