Commuter associations from Palghar have alleged that the revenue generated by the station was way more than that of Godhra, Dahod, Nagda, Meghnagar and Bhawani Mandi, but still Western Railway removed halts of trains at the station.

There has been a lot of discontent among passengers at Palghar regarding the same and a section of them met Western Railway managers on Thursday. “We have met a number of authorities concerned in the past one year, but no one has acted on our demands so far. Western Railway officials have removed the stoppages at Palghar not due to lack of revenue or patronage. Numerous RTI applications have found otherwise,” said Himanshu Vartak, consultative committee member for Palghar station.
