The Mumbai monorail station in Dadar East has been renamed as Vitthal Mandir following persistent demands by local residents and political parties. The Maharashtra government in March 2024 formally approved the renaming.
“Since the historic Vitthal temple is located here below the station, the local sentiment had been to rename the station and we had written to the authorities with consistent follow-ups and finally the station has been renamed,” Bajrang Deshmukh of the Wadala Nagrik Dakshata Samiti, who has put up hoardings thanking the authorities for renaming the station.
