(a)  and  (b)  Demands,  including  that  from  the  Hon'ble  Member  of Parliament, have been received. Demands for provision of stoppage of trains  at  the  stations,  where  they  presently  do  not  have  scheduled stoppage, have been examined but found operationally not feasible, for  the  present.  However,  provision  of  stoppages  is  an  ongoing process  on  Indian  Railways,  subject  to  operational  feasibility  and commercial justification etc.

- (c)  Comparative  analysis  of  total  number  of  passengers  and  daily average of number  of passengers  (both outwards  and  inwards combined), for stations Nawalgarh, Renwal, Sudsar, Dausa, Khairthal, Rajgarh, Bandikui, Phulera, Beawar and Kishangarh during the period 01.01.2019 to 31.12.2019, is as below:
