History

Station complex
The platform is not very well sheltered. It has many facilities including water and sanitation. It is well connected to the BT Road. But there is no proper approach road to this station.[3]
Electrification
The Sealdah-Ranaghat sector was electrified in 1963–65.[4]

gollark: It's probably somewhat less secure. But you can do it without worrying about COVID-19 or whatever.
gollark: More secure than what?
gollark: That does not sound like very good advice in general, let alone in some sort of extremely dangerous post-apocalypse.
