Re# 1503267-26              
Gr and WADI are not twin towns as both are no way connected , there is no road service between GR & WADI . The only source to travel between these two placecs is TRAIN .GR is a divisional Head Quarter & WADI is just small village this is famous only for ACC factory .

Re# 1503267-28              
Actually GR is a commercial city with all floating passengers & the passenger movement at GR is 50-60 times more than WADI .Regarding the stoppage WADI being the junction all technical works will be carried out here so if you don't provide
a official halt the trains will stop for above reason . As far as passengers are concerned GR should be given a compulsory
halt for all trains.
