Hazarduari Palace and its associated sites in the Kila Nizamat area (forming the central area in the map alongside) is the centre of attraction in Murshidabad. Just a little away are Katra Masjid, Fauti Mosque, Jama Masjid and the Motijhil area. There is a group of attractions in the northern part of the town (as can be seen in the map alongside).

Note: The map alongside presents some of the notable locations in Murshidabad city. Most of the places marked in the map are linked in the larger full screen map. A few, without pages yet, remain unmarked. The map has a scale. It will help viewers to find out the distances.
History[edit | edit source]
Ranaghat–Lalgola branch line was opened in 1905 during British reign.
Electrification[edit | edit source]
The 128 km long Krishnanagar–Lalgola stretch was electrified in 2004 for EMU services.[citation needed]
Infrastructure[edit | edit source]
The railway station has four platforms after the installation of a double railway track.
Expansion[edit | edit source]
Railway Ministry tried to connect the railway station to Azimganj Junction. But due to land acquisition problems, the work of connecting these two stations was stopped. However, with help of Mamata Banerjee, the expansion work has been started again in full swing. The bridge named as Nashipur Rail Bridge over the Bhagirathi River is complete. The Murshidabad-Azimgunj link is expected to be commissioned by the end of December 2017. Some North Bengal trains like Darjeeling Mail, Haldibari Express are likely to move through Sealdah–Ranaghat–Behrampore Court–Murshidabad–Azimganj instead of crossing Bali Bridge and move through Barddhaman–Baharwa–Malda Town. Rail Ministry reports say that this linkage will minimise the travel distance (25 km) as well as time.[2]
