DIMAPUR — Prime Minister Narendra Modi will virtually inaugurate 103 redeveloped railway stations across the nation under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme (ABSS), on May 22.
Among these, the historic Haibargaon Railway Station in Assam, originally constructed in 1887, stands as a prominent beneficiary, the Northeast Frontier Railway stated in a press release.
“Located in the heart of Nagaon, this station has long served as a key transportation node, contributing to the region’s socio-economic vitality. With an average daily footfall of approximately 1,200 passengers, its transformation under ABSS reflects the government’s vision of inclusive and sustainable infrastructure growth,” it stated.
The redevelopment of Haibargaon Railway Station has given it a contemporary identity while addressing critical regional challenges like flood vulnerability and limited accessibility.
The station now features a grand entrance porch, a newly built station building and a spacious concourse area. Passenger amenities have been substantially enhanced with a modern waiting hall, modular and Divyangjan-friendly toilets.

Additionally a refreshment room along with baby feeding facilities has also been provided in the newly developed station. The platforms have been resurfaced and the circulating area has been restructured with designated parking zones for two, three and four wheelers separately, with dedicated pedestrian pathways.
The station also includes tactile tiles, ramps and accessible ticket counters to ensure universal access. Additional upgrades include high-mast lighting, upgraded public address systems, improved signage, landscaped green zones and the installation of murals and a themed statue celebrating Assam’s cultural heritage.
According to the NFR, the redevelopment of Haibargaon station is more than a physical upgrade as it signifies a renewed commitment towards enhancing passenger experience and promoting regional tourism. With improved facilities and connectivity, the station is set to act as a gateway to nearby attractions such as Kaziranga National Park, Laokhowa Wildlife Sanctuary and Bordowa Than.
“This initiative not only strengthens the infrastructural backbone of Northeast India but also supports local commerce through dedicated kiosks under the ‘One Station One Product’ scheme.
“NFR takes pride in being part of this transformative journey that aims towards connecting the region’s historical legacy with its aspirations for a vibrant and inclusive future,” the release added.
