Railway station

The village has a railway station that remained closed for 42 years after rumors of it being haunted. According to the villagers, in 1967, a railway employee reported the sighting of a woman's ghost, and it was rumored that she had died in a railway accident. After a few weeks, the same railway employee mysteriously died and all the railway staff abandoned the station in fear. Basudeb Acharia said that railway employees had made up the story to avoid being posted there. In the late 1990s the villagers formed a committee and asked the officials to reopen the station. About a decade later, in August 2009, the railway station was reopened as a passenger train halt.
