This Railway Station In India Has Trains Stand In Two Different States At The Same Time
The railway station also remains unique as most of the people coming here to get their tickets booked introduced themselves as Madhya Pradesh residents but the ticketing office is in Rajasthan.
Being in two places at the same time might seem like something only a superhero can do but actually, people can do that in India as well.
It may sound quite surprising but there is a railway station in Rajasthan where only half of a standing train is in the state. This station is named Bhawani Mandi where the train¡¯s engine stands in one state and the guard coach stands in another state.
The Bhawani Mandi railway station, where you purchase tickets in Madhya Pradesh and board the train in Rajasthan! This is because the inter-state boundary passes through the station, between the booking windows and the platforms of the station. #IndianRailways #amazing #Stations pic.twitter.com/XwzD8Qb5c4

So, this means you can be in two states at the same time. How exciting.
This unique railway station in Rajasthan¡¯s Jhalawar district is situated on the Delhi-Mumbai railway line and sees the train engine standing in Rajasthan while the guard¡¯s coach is still in neighbouring Madhya Pradesh. Bhawani Mandi station, in fact, has other peculiarities due to its location on the Rajasthan-Madhya Pradesh border.
While there is a board displaying the name of Rajasthan at one point, the board on the other end showcases Madhya Pradesh. The railway station also remains unique as most of the people coming here to get their tickets booked introduced themselves as Madhya Pradesh residents but the ticketing office is in Rajasthan.

But this unbelievable aspect is not only restricted to a railway station, the area has many houses, whose front doors open into Madhya Pradesh¡¯s Bhaisodamandi town while the back door opens into Bhawani Mandi.
As per officials, the drug peddlers have been cashing in on the geographical situation of this town as they vanish from one state to the other giving a slip to pursuing police.
Bollywood comedy film ¡°Bhawani Mandi Tesan¡±, produced in 2018, has narrated the different tales of this town.
This is not the only railway station in India that opens its gates to two different states, Navapur Railway Station is located in two states as well, with half of the station being located in Maharashtra and another half in Gujarat. The railway station is situated right on the border of both states. The ticket window is in Maharashtra but Station Master sits in Gujarat.
The station even has a unique bench which is divided into half and one half is one state and the other in another one.
