==History==

In 1887, [[Howrah–Seoraphuli–Bishnupur branch line]] was planned to be constructed, and it was to be a track connecting Tarakeswar with Bishnupur. It was 90% completed before the 1900s, but a big pond was there in the track, and the villagers did not give the land to Indian Railways.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Ghosal |first=Pratik |date=2025-02-27 |title=Residents of this West Bengal village have been fighting for over a decade to protect their waterbody |url=https://www.downtoearth.org.in/water/residents-of-this-west-bengal-village-have-been-fighting-for-over-a-decade-to-protect-their-waterbody |access-date=2025-09-15 |website=Down To Earth |language=en}}</ref> The station was opened in November 2011.
