Prime Minister Narendra Modi will virtually inaugurate 103 redeveloped railway stations across 18 states and Union Territories, including Assam’s Haibargaon station in Nagaon district. This station is the first in Assam and the northeast to be upgraded under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme, which aims to modernise India’s railway infrastructure.

The 138-year-old Haibargaon station has been reconstructed at a cost of Rs 158.5 million. Northeast Frontier Railway officials completed upgrades that include improved passenger amenities, better accessibility, and architecture reflecting local culture.

Kapinjal Kishore Sharma, Chief Public Relations Officer of Northeast Frontier Railway, described the event as a landmark for Assam and the northeast. He said it reflects the Prime Minister’s focus on grassroots infrastructure and regional connectivity.

Haibargaon’s redevelopment will set a benchmark for 49 other stations planned for upgrading in Assam. The station is expected to become a symbol of progress and pride for the region, bridging regional gaps and strengthening the northeast’s role in India’s development journey.
