Mankhurd
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mankhurd is a suburb of Mumbai. The township lies on the Harbour Line and is the last stop in the city before New Mumbai. After Mankhurd, trains cross the Vashi Bridge before reaching Vashi, in New Mumbai. Mankhurd also has a railway line run by the Bombay Port Trust.
Unlike many of the railway stations in Mumbai, which have 'east' and 'west' side, this station has a 'north' and 'south' side on either side of the railway track. Bhabha Atomic Research Centre's employee township "Anushakti Nagar", Naval Employee's Township, Mandala and Trombay are some nearby accessible places from the south side of this train station. BEST (Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport) public buses serve this station. Metered and non-metered auto rickshaws are common sight outside the station.
The area is dirty due to the presence of a large number of slums. The surrounding region near the creek is covered by acres of mangrove swamps.
