The long-pending demand regarding a halt for a Konkan Railway train at Bhandup station has been taken up by the newly-elected Member of Parliament from Mumbai North East. Manoj Kotak has said that he will begin communication with Central Railway and get a feasibility survey conducted.

"The demand has been there for a long time and I have begun communication with the railways to explore this aspect. Surveys will have to be done and then some civil work like an extension of platform etc will have to be taken up. I am trying my best to see what can be done. It is in very early stages and nothing has been finalised but I do hope to get things done," Kotak told mid-day.
