Navapur Railway Station: One Bench, Two States, and a Unique Story of Division
While traveling with my family on vacation we stopped at Navapur Railway Station Tired from the journey I sat down on a simple wooden bench at the platform My parents and siblings sat beside me but then my father chuckled and said Do you realize you are sitting in Gujarat while the rest of us are in Maharashtra I looked down and noticed a line running right through the middle of the bench That was the moment I discovered the fascinating story of Navapur Railway Station a station that literally belongs to two different states India is a land of diversity not just in people culture or food but sometimes even in its railway stations Among the thousands of stations in the country Navapur Railway Station is one of a kind Situated in the Nandurbar district of Maharashtra and the Tapi district of Gujarat this station is divided almost perfectly
