of carriages. However, Senchikhin did not agree with this, he noted that Baku was an industrial city and its population would grow rapidly. As the population increased, there would be a need to enlarge the platforms and stations, and to increase the number of carriages. Expanding an existing station costed more than building a new station. With this, he could satisfy the minister and got the amount he wanted. After the completion of the construction of the first line, Senchikhin was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor. Ganjlik, Depo, Khatai and 20 January metro stations were built based on the projects of Senchikhin. His last job was January 20 metro station. He prepared the project of this station together with Tokay Mammadov. The station project was prepared in the hospital where he was a patient. He died in Baku in 1985.
