See, this is why I was hesitant to respond. You used district population as a metric, others here used city population. You think a 'huge gathering' at the station qualifies, somebody else might think that this crowd size is not as big as the crowd at Jodhpur, for example. And none of us know the exact criteria IR uses for actually deciding a stop properly. In most instances, new stops for any existing train are usually announced due to political pressure more than any other logical reason anyway.
