'''Bhayandar''' is a [[city]] in the Western Suburbs of [[Mumbai]] before [[Naigaon]]. Bhayandar is in the [[North]] of Mumbai City and is governed by the [[Mira-Bhayandar|Mira-Bhayandar Municipal Corporation]] (MBMC). It was once Asia's largest steel utensils manufacturer. It is also a [[Bhayandar railway station|railway station]] on the Western Line of the [[Mumbai Suburban Railway]]. The city is 5.6 km from [[Ghodbunder Fort]] and port which was once a major port for Arabian horse imports. The city is a major tourist gateway for [[Global Vipassana Pagoda]] (14.8 km [[South]] of the city) and to [[EsselWorld|Essel World]] and Water Kingdom. The city also has 2 Public Libraries and Study Hubs. [[Bhayandar railway station|Bhayander]] is connected to the rest of Mumbai by [[Rail transport|Railways]] ([[Mumbai Suburban Railway]]) and [[Road]]s. The current [[Mayor]] of [[Bhayandar railway station|Bhayander]] is Jyotsna Hansale.

Like all [[Rail transport|Railway]] Stations on the [[Mumbai Suburban Railway]], Bhayandar is divided into two parts by the rail line: [[East]] and [[West]]. The West was traditionally Residential and the East was predominantly an Industrial area. Recent population growth and a flurry of construction has blurred the boundaries between Bhayandar and [[Mira Road]] on the East side of the [[Rail transport|Rail]] Tracks, turning it into a populous city. Government-owned [[Salt pan (evaporation)|salt pans]] and [[marshland]] in West of Mira Road have restricted the growth of Mira Road West, whereas Bhayandar West is a developed area.

The East Indian Villages in Bhayandar are Murdha, Rai, Morva, Dongri, [[Uttan]], Pali Chowk, Tarodi etc. They were formed by Portuguese travellers. One route for "Essel World" is via Gorai, one of the villages close to Bhayandar. [[Gorai]] is popular for its [[beach]] and nearby Manori Beach and is a popular weekend spot for Bhayandar Residents.

The MBMC's ([[Mira-Bhayandar|Mira-Bhayandar Municipal Corporation]]) Main Office is in Bhayandar West. Departments like Property Tax, Octroi, Transportation, Health, Ambulance for Emergency, Library, Water, Education, Birth-Death Registration, Tree, Advertising Fee, Animals, Public Construction, City Development, Accounts, etc. come under MBMC's Governance Portfolio.

The recent success of real estate in Mumbai has helped Bhayandar become one of the populated stations on the Western railway circuit. There are [[Mumbai Suburban Railway|Mumbai Local Trains]] originating and terminating at this [[Rail transport|Rail]] Station and also has a Train Yard in the North side between [[Bhayandar railway station|Bhayandar]] and [[Naigaon railway station|Naigaon]] Rail Stations and in the South side between Bhayandar and [[Mira Road railway station|Mira Road]] Rail Stations; this shows the growth of Bhayandar in the last decade. [[Mira-Bhayandar Municipal Transport|Mira Bhayandar Municipal Transport]] (MBMT) has recently increased the frequency of bus services provided in the [[Mira-Bhayandar]] City. Mahanagar Gas (MGL) pipeline service is available. [[Tata Power]] as well as [[Adani Power]] provides 24-hour electricity supply in the city. Multiplex and Hyper Market called Maxus Mall, which includes a six-screen multiplex and [[Big Bazaar]] are located in [[Bhayandar railway station|Bhayander]] West. [[DMart|D-Mart]] and Sahakari Bhandar have made a mark in the city. Bhayandar has witnessed a hike in property rates in a short time. The famous residential landmarks are Chandan Park, Chandmal Nagar, Jesal Park, Sarvoday Paradise, Golden Nest, Indralok in the East side.

There are many hotels in Bhayandar. There are many playgrounds for children such as Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Ground, Agarwal and Maxus cricket ground and morva bhati ground.
