Maharashtra government has approved the name Digha Gaon Railway Station for the newly constructed railway station on the trans-harbour line between Thane and Airoli.
 
According to the March 2023 notification, the railway administration had named the station as Dighe Railway Station but lakhs of residents of the Digha area in which the station is built demanded that the station be named as Digha Gaon Railway Station.
 
Earlier MLA Ganesh Naik and former MP Dr. Sanjeev Naik had given several demand letters to centre and state governments requesting to name the station as Digha Gaon railway station. The efforts brought results as on 31st August 2023, the state government approved the name Digha Gaon railway station.
 
The letter regarding this has been sent by the motor transport department of the state government to the central motor vehicles department which is the final authority.
