The fishing community from Palghar finally got its parcel train back and thanked Western Railway. They added that they would maintain the pressure on the zonal railway to make the train more regular. The zonal railway has started a 16-car Parcel Special from Jogeshwari to Bali Brahman every Sunday which will halt at Palghar, Dahanu Road, Umbergaon and Udhna. “We are happy that a refrigerated service has been started as required for fish parcels,” said Vinod Patil, Palghar district president of Akhil Maharashtra Machhimar Kruti Samiti. The fisherfolk also thanked mid-day for highlighting the issue.

Fisherfolk had complained to the zonal railway that they were not being allowed in the parcel compartment
