Dibrugarh railway station is a railway junction station on the Lumding–Dibrugarh section. It is located in Dibrugarh district in the Indian state of Assam. It serves Dibrugarh and the surrounding areas. Dibrugarh railway station (DBRG) is the second railway station of the historic city of Dibrugarh after Dibrugarh Town railway station (DBRT).

Overview

In her book Urban History of India: A Case Study Deepali Barua writes: "Dibrugarh was made the district headquarters in 1840. But it was not only for strategic importance that it soon became so important. The greatest interest of the British in Assam was the commerce centering around it. As early as 1823 the British discovered tea in the modern Sadiya region. It was at Chabua, 20 miles to the east of Dibrugarh that the British made their first experiments with tea cultivation with indigenous plants. Very soon oil and coal were discovered in areas near to Dibrugarh town. Oil was discovered at Digboi in 1882 and coal was found at Margherita in 1876. All these greatly enhanced the importance of Dibrugarh as a centre of industrial, commercial, and administrative activities."[1]

History

The 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+3⁄8 in)-wide metre-gauge line from Dibrugarh steamer ghat to Makum was opened to passenger traffic on 16 July 1883.[1]

The metre-gauge railway track earlier laid by Assam Bengal Railway from Chittagong to Lumding was extended to Tinsukia on the Dibru–Sadiya line in 1903.[1][2]

The project for the conversion of the Lumding–Dibrugarh section from metre gauge to 5 ft 6 in (1,676 mm) broad gauge was completed by the end of 1997.[3]

New station

Train services commenced from the new station at Banipur on 13 December 2009.[4]

Dibrugarh-Kanyakumari Vivek Express

The Dibrugarh–Kanyakumari Vivek Express, introduced in 2011, is a train service with the longest route in India. The train runs for 4,278 km (2,658 mi) across the states of Assam, West Bengal, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala and Tamil Nadu in 82 hours.[5][6]

Bogibeel Bridge

The 4.94 km (3 mi) long Bogibeel Bridge, combined road and rail bridge across the Brahmaputra connects Dibrugarh to the other side of the river, referred to as the north bank. Construction work was inaugurated by former prime minister, Atal Bihari Vajpayee in 2002, which is finally opened on 25 December 2018 .[7][8]
