History

[edit]

The old narrow-gauge Bankura–Damodar Railway (also called the Bankura-Damodar River Railway) connecting Bankura and Rainagar in Bankura and Bardhaman districts was opened to traffic in sections between 1916 and 1917.[3] In 2005, the 118 kilometres (73 mi) long railway section known as the Bankura–Masagram line was converted to 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) broad gauge.[4] The whole track including Indas railway station was electrified in 2018–19.[5]
