Railway ministry gives in-principle nod to new station between Thane and Mulund

The railway ministry has granted in-principle approval for the construction of a new suburban railway station between Mulund and Thane, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has said. On Friday, Fadnavis shared a letter from Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on social media. There was a long-pending demand of local political leaders that a suburban railway station be developed on the land of the government mental hospital for the convenience of passengers. In the letter addressed to Fadnavis, Vaishnaw said in-principle approval has been accorded for the proposed station. It would give a new boost to connectivity in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, the CM said in a post on X, thanking Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Vaishnaw for the approval.
