Thane Civic Body Backs Naming New Railway Station After Anand Dighe
•Thane Municipal Corporation unanimously passed a resolution appreciating the decision to name the new railway station after late Shiv Sena leader Anand Dighe.
•The new station, located between Thane and Mulund, reflects the sentiments of residents and addresses rising commuter numbers.
•Initially, TMC was to bear the Rs 250 crore cost, but Shiv Sena MPs Shrikant Shinde and Naresh Mhaske advocated for Railways to cover the expenditure.
•Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw agreed, and a formal proposal has been submitted to the Railway Board for final approval.
•MP Naresh Mhaske formally requested the naming after 'Dharmveer' Anand Dighe in Parliament, leading to the resolution's passage.
