History

The Howrah-Kharagpur line was opened in 1865[3] and Panskura-Durgachak line was opened in 1968, at a time when Haldia Port was being constructed. It was subsequently extended to Haldia.[3][4] The Panskura-Haldia line including Satish Samanta Halt railway station was electrified in 1974–76.[5]

gollark: * people with problems
gollark: To be fair, if you look at a support thing like this it'll heavily select for problems.
gollark: It still seems to *work*, but the noise is annoying and I figure relying on it continuing to work with a capacitor blown or something is maybe not smart.
gollark: The nearest repair centres are, according to the website, quite far away, too.
gollark: My device is still warrantied but not having a laptop for ages while it gets repaired would be very inconvenient, so does anyone know how long this sort of thing generally takes to get fixed (or if there is a simple repair I can do, but I doubt it)?
