Geography

Шаблон:OSM Location map

Dhubri district occupies the south-west corner of Assam. It borders on Bangladesh, and the Indian states of West Bengal and Meghalaya. The Brahmaputra divides the district into two parts. Tributaries of the Brahmaputra such as Gangadhar, Gaurang, Tipkai, Champamoti in the north and Jinjiram, Jinari and Kaloo in the south are all major contributors of floods in the area.[3][4]

History

In pre-independence days (in the early 1900s), there was a Шаблон:Track gauge-wide metre-gauge line: Шаблон:Stnlnk–Шаблон:Stnlnk–Шаблон:Stnlnk–Шаблон:Stnlnk–Tista–Шаблон:Stnlnk–Golakganj–Шаблон:Stnlnk.[5]

With the partition of India in 1947, railways in Assam got delinked from that of the rest of India. Indian Railway took up the Assam Link Project in 1948 to build a metre-gauge rail link between Fakiragram and Шаблон:Stnlnk. Fakiragram was connected to the Indian railway system in 1950.[6]

In the mid 1960s, the first Шаблон:Track gauge broad gauge line was laid in the area from Шаблон:Stnlnk to Jogihopa via New Bongaigaon.[7][8]

The Fakiragram–Dhubri line was opened in September 2010 after conversion to broad gauge.[9]

Up to the sixties there was a railway link from Cooch Behar to Шаблон:Stnlnk via Golokganj. It was then known as the Assam Line Railway Service. It also connected East Pakistan, even after partition. However, collapse of the rail-cum-road bridge over the Gadadhar in the seventies ended that link. The bridge has been rebuilt and the track laid again as broad gauge, entirely through Indian territory. The line became operable in 2012.[10] Dhubri–New Jalpaiguri Inter-city Express via New Cooch Behar was introduced in February 2012.[11]

Note: The map alongside presents the position as it stands today (2020). The international border was not there when the railways were first laid in the area in the 19th–20th century. It came up in 1947. Since then, it has been an effort to live up to the new realities. The map is 'Interactive' (the larger version) – it means that all the places shown in the map are linked in the full screen map.
