The long-standing demand for a scheduled halt of Train No. 12971/12972 Bhavnagar Express at Palghar Railway Station has received a significant boost, with Palghar MP Hemant Vishnu Savara assuring local representatives that the matter is being actively pursued with the Railway Ministry.

The delegation, comprising representatives of Kutchi, Gujarati and Jain community groups, urged the MP to pursue the long-pending demand with the Railway Ministry. They said a scheduled stop at Palghar would benefit passengers from Palghar, Boisar, Safale and adjoining areas who frequently travel to Gujarat.
