Railway Services in Dibrugarh Set for Major Upgrades

Railway officials announced plans to reintroduce the Shatabdi Express to Guwahati by April and a Vande Bharat service between Dibrugarh and Guwahati by June next year. The meeting, attended by local officials, also discussed resuming the Brahmaputra Mail and intra-state trains like services to Tezpur, Ledo, and Simaluguri.

Banipur station is overburdened, handling 36 trains daily despite a capacity for 16. To ease this, services from Dibrugarh Town station are being considered, with infrastructure improvements underway. However, some BJP leaders oppose DBRT station’s revival, citing safety and urban concerns. Civil society members advocate transforming DBRT into a suburban hub and world-class station for upper Assam.
