Changrabandha is a railway station serving the town of Changrabandha in Mekhliganj CD block, Cooch Behar district in the Indian state of West Bengal.[2][3]
The Lalmonirhat–Malbazar metre-gauge line was developed by the Bengal Dooars Railway in the closing years of the nineteenth century.[4] With the partition of India in 1947, the Indian side of the line terminated at Changrabandha and the Pakistani side, later Bangladeshi side, at Burimari.[5]
The line between New Mal Jn. and Changrabandha is now (2016) converted to broad gauge. The introduction of the train services was delayed as a result of delay in environmental clearance. However, a pair of DMUs have been introduced on this route from Siliguri to Changrabandha via New Mal Jn from 20 January 2016.[6] There is a train from New Cooch Behar to Siliguri Jn via Changrabandha.[7]
The Bangladeshi side of the line is still functional.[8][9] The Karotua Express runs daily between Burimari and Lalmonirhat. There are 2 commuter trains daily between Burimari and Lalmonirhat.[10]
