Mankhurd

Mankhurd is a suburb of Mumbai and last station on the central Railway(Harbour Line).
Unlike many of the railway stations in Mumbai, which have 'east' and 'west' sides, this station has a 'north' and 'south' side. Bhabha Atomic Research Centre(BARC) 's employee township Anushakti Nagar, Trombay,Naval Employee's and MandalaTownship are some nearby accessible places from the south side of the station. BEST(external link) buses are the main mode of tranport at the station. Metered and non-metered auto rickshaws are common sight outside the station.
The area is dirty due to the presence of a large number of slums. The surrounding region near the creek is covered by acres of mangrove swamps.
