A day at Navapur railway station

Navapur railway station straddles the border between Gujarat and Maharashtra. This unique station, with its infrastructure split between the two states, has become a tourist attraction due to its unusual nature. The station, built in recent years, has modern facilities and sees about 10 trains daily. The ticket counter is in...

Maharashtra, while the station master's office and logistics are in Gujarat, leading to interesting administrative challenges. The station has garnered attention after a tweet by Indian Railways highlighting its bi-state peculiarity. While the station's unique features draw visitors, it also presents contrasting laws and jurisdictional challenges. Gujarat's liquor prohibition contrasts with Maharashtra's legal drinking, leading to a no-man's land situation. The station also poses jurisdictional problems for authorities during emergencies. However, the station plays a vital role in connecting local communities, serving as a transportation hub for workers traveling to Surat and students traveling to Jaipur. The article highlights the everyday lives of people who interact with the station and the cultural and economic significance it holds.

Navapur railway station, yeh Gujarat aur Maharashtra ki border pe hai, ek alag alag station hai! Iska infrastructure dono states mein divide hai, aur yeh apni unusual nature ki wajah se tourist attraction ban gaya hai. Kuchh saal pehle bana hua yeh station, modern facilities se ladha hua hai,...

aur yahan roz 10 trains aati hain. Ticket counter Maharashtra mein hai, lekin station master ka office aur logistics Gujarat mein hai, jisse kuchh administrative challenges aati hain. Indian Railways ne ek tweet mein iski bi-state peculiarity highlight ki thi, jisse station ko bahut attention mila. Is station ki unique features visitors ko attract karti hain, par yeh contrasting laws aur jurisdictional challenges bhi present karta hai. Gujarat ka liquor prohibition Maharashtra ke legal drinking ke sath clash karta hai, jisse no-man's land situation ban jaati hai. Emergency ke waqt authorities ke liye bhi station jurisdictional problems pose karta hai. Par station, local communities ko connect karne mein vital role khelta hai, aur Surat jaane waale workers aur Jaipur jaane waale students ke liye transportation hub ka kaam karta hai. Article, station se interact karne waale logon ki everyday lives aur uski cultural and economic significance ko highlight karta hai.

These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
