Sabroom railway station


Sabroom railway station, is a railway station which serves Sabroom town in South Tripura district of Tripura state of India. It is located near Feni River which serves as Bangladesh–India border.

History

The Sabroom railway station is the terminus railhead of the 113 km long broad-gauge Agartala–Sabroom railway line which comes under the Lumding railway division of the Northeast Frontier Railway zone of Indian Railways. It is a single line without electrification. On 3 October 2019, the first DEMU serving Agartala–Sabroom performed its inaugural run after the construction of railway line was completed. In 2016, 43 km long segment from Agartala to Udaipur near Mata Tripura Sundari temple was completed. On 3 October 2019, the remaining Udaipur-Sabroom segment was also completed.

Future connectivity

The rail link from South Tripura district will be extended to Chittagong Port and Cox's Bazar deep water port in Bangladesh, as agreed by the prime ministers of the both countries, by rehabilitating the railway link from Santir Bazar railway station in India to Feni Junction railway station in Bangladesh. Maitri Setu bridge near Sabroom was opened in 2021 to connect the "Belonia, India–Parshuram, Bangladesh road and rail crossing checkposts". Compared to the long, congested "Chicken's Neck" Siliguri Corridor, this will provide a shorter and more affordable route, and it will also provide the alternative strategic redundancy to Kaladan Multi-Modal project route if there is a war with China.
