History

The Sealdah-Kusthia line of the Eastern Bengal Railway was opened to railway traffic in the year 1862.[1] Eastern Bengal Railway used to work only on the eastern side of the Hooghly River.[2]

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 a proper approach road to this station.[3]

Electrification

The Sealdah-Ranaghat sector was electrified in 1963–65.[4]
