Proposals/ requests/ suggestions/ representations, both formal and informal inter alia for provision of stoppage of trains are received from Members of Parliament, elected representatives, organizations/rail users etc. at various levels  including  Railway  Board,  Zonal  Railways,  Divisional  Office  etc.  As receipt of such proposals/ requests/suggestions is a continuous and dynamic process,  centralized  compendium  of  such  requests  is  not  maintained. However, these are examined and action as found feasible and justified is taken from time to time, which is an on-going process.

Besides,  provision  of  stoppages  of  train  services,  which  is  an  on-going process, depends on the traffic justification, operational feasibility including availability of extra time on the section & availability of matching infrastructure such as Platform length etc.
