Indore Mhow Rail Yatri Sangh convenor Anil Dholi said that the expansion work of Mhow railway station was stalled for a long time, the main reason being the metre gauge track. Due to many technical problems, the development of the railway station was not being done.

With the decision of Western Railway to stop the metre gauge heritage and passenger trains from January 31, the development work can now be done with ease. For this, Indore Mhow Rail Yatri Sangh was struggling for a long time. Sweets will be distributed to passengers as a mark of victory.
