Western Railway Friday withdrew its order to cancel halts of six suburban trains at Jogeshwari station in northern Mumbai following protests from commuters.

The halts were cancelled as part of a new suburban train timetable that came into effect Thursday.

The decision had upset commuters who lodged complaints with the Jogeshwari station master as well as divisional authorities.

Following a meeting between BJP Mumbai unit chief Ashish Shelar and WR Mumbai divisional railway manager Sanjay Mishra, the decision to cancel the halts was revoked Friday.

When contacted, Shelar said, "Jogeshwari needs more train halts due to increase in passengers, especially due to the metro and the Bombay Exhibition Centre nearby. I mediated on behalf of the commuters and resolved the issue."
