New Delhi: Railway is considered as the life line in India. It is an accessible and cheap means of transport for all classes of people. There are more than 7000 railway stations in India. Many railway stations are known for their beauty and many for their long platforms and cleanliness etc. In such a situation, let’s have a look at the list of 5 most unique railway stations in India.
Navapur
The name of Navapur railway station comes at the top in the list of most different and unique railway stations of India. One part of this station is in Maharashtra, while the other part is in Gujarat. For this reason, Navapur railway station is divided into two different states, where Maharashtra and Gujarat are written on everything from platform to bench. Announcements at the station are also made in 4 languages, English, Hindi, Marathi and Gujarati.
nameless
Have you ever heard of a railway station without a name? Or have heard of a station that is fully functional without any name. This unnamed railway station, situated on the Bankura-Masgram railway line, 35 km from Bardhaman in West Bengal, was constructed in the year 2008, which was named as Rainagarh. But the people of Raina village did not like this name of the railway station, so they complained to the Railway Board to change the name of the station, then the name of Rainagarh was removed from the board of this station. Since then this railway station is running without a name.
unnamed station
The train going from Ranchi to Tori, the capital of Jharkhand, also passes through an unnamed station. No sign board of any kind will also be seen here. When the train started operating from this station for the first time in 2011, the railways thought of naming it as Barkichampi. But after the protest of the people of Kamle village, this station also remained unnamed. Those people said that the land and laborers of their village were engaged to build this railway station, hence the name of this village should be Kamle station. Thus even after this controversy, this station has not got any name.
Attic
If you want to catch a train from Attari railway station or get down at this station, then you must have a visa. Attari railway station in Amritsar, located on the border of India and Pakistan, is strictly prohibited without a visa. This station is monitored by security forces 24 hours, so if a person is caught without a visa, he can be booked under the 14 Foreign Act and that person can also be punished.
Bhawani Mandi
