One more station in IR, derived the name like MHOW. It is AVADI - means Armoured Vehicles and Ammunition Depot of India

Samar, MHOW means "Military Headquarters On War". The British chose it because of it's central location. With all the mountains around, it was almost invincible during those days. Mahoo is an indianised version of MHOW

So here is how to spell Mhow. It will come like 'Mahoo' as seen in the hindi spelling.
