higher than the national average of 74.04%
This 74.04% figure is not the national literacy rate from the 2001 census. Official Census of India materials put India’s 2001 literacy rate at 64.8%; about 74% is the 2011 national figure.
Full reasoning
The sentence is explicitly introduced with "As of 2001 India census", so the comparison should use the 2001 national literacy rate.
Official Census of India publications contradict the 74.04% figure:
- A Census of India 2011 publication shows "National Average: 64.8" for Effective Literacy Rate, 2001, and "National Average: 74.0" for 2011.
- Another Census of India publication states: "The rate of literacy of the population computed for 2001 Census ... is found to be 64.8 per cent for the whole country."
So the article is mixing a 2011-era national literacy figure (~74%) into a sentence about the 2001 census. The comparison should be to about 64.8%, not 74.04%.

comes under the police jurisdiction of Mira-Bhayander, Vasai-Virar Police Commissionerate
Nallasopara railway station is covered by Mumbai Railway Police, not the Mira-Bhayander–Vasai-Virar city police commissionerate. Official Mumbai Railway Police listings place Nalasopara under Vasai Railway Police station within the Mumbai Railway Commissionerate.
Full reasoning
This sentence is about Nallasopara railway station, i.e. the railway premises/station itself. Official Maharashtra police sources show that railway policing is handled separately from the territorial city commissionerate here.
Evidence:
- The Mumbai Railway Police states that the Mumbai Railway Commissionerate covers the entire railway network from the Gujarat border on Western Railways to Mumbai.
- On the Mumbai Railway Police station listing for Vasai Railway Police station, the "Railway Stations Covered" explicitly include "NALASOPARA".
- The Maharashtra Home Department lists "Mira-Bhyandier-Vasai-Virar" and "Rlys., Mumbai" as separate police commissionerates/units, showing that railway jurisdiction is not the same as the territorial city commissionerate.
So, for the railway station itself, the article assigns the wrong police jurisdiction. The station falls under Mumbai Railway Police (Vasai Railway Police station / Mumbai Railway Commissionerate), not under the Mira-Bhayander–Vasai-Virar Police Commissionerate.
