==History==

The line between [[Dudhnoi]] in [[Assam]] and [[Deepa, Meghalaya|Deepa]] in [[Meghalaya]] was proposed in Rail budget 1992–93. Later alignment was changed to Dudhnoi-[[Mendipathar]] in 2007 due to opposition of local people. Due to late handling of land to railways in [[Assam]] and Meghalaya, the work was slow up to 2013. Acquisition of land was completed by March 2013.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://parliamentofindia.nic.in/lsdeb/ls10/ses3/0525029202.htm|title= Railway budget 1992-93|access-date= 24 June 2017|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20160304053246/http://parliamentofindia.nic.in/lsdeb/ls10/ses3/0525029202.htm|archive-date= 4 March 2016|url-status= dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/other-states/meghalaya-now-connected-by-rail/article5864152.ece/?maneref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fsearch%3Ftbm%3Dnws%26q%3Dmeghalaya%26client%3Dms-opera-mini%26channel%3Dnew%26gws_rd%3Dcr%26hl%3Den%26|title= First railway station in Meghalaya}}</ref>
