1. It is not possible to carve out railway zones at present but back in the days Bhagalpur was in Howrah Division & Malda Town was in Katihar division. So to introduce new trains Gani khan Chaudhury thought that a entire new division is necessary. So during his term as Railway Minister he introduced Malda Division to fulfil demands of Malda, Sahibganj, Munger, Bhagalpur.
2. Old Malda Jn is not used by people very much since both stations lie in the same route . Malda court's line is a near Bangladesh border,...
more... so Malda Town is the main station with being closer to the main city itself.
3. Not possible as a new bridge should be constructed at Mahananda River & it will pass parallel to NH 12 . So for 3rd, 4th line it will be constructed near Malda Bypass of NH12 to reduce goods traffic in current main line. MLDT-EKI 3rd line is possible
4 Gani khan Chowdhury never wanted that a full fledged terminal will be made like Howrah otherwise trains would have to go via Katihar , Barauni for all places which will take more time . So he put Idea of new route from kolkata to siliguri , Ne via Malda by constructing a bridge on Ganga River. with construction of Farakka Barrage entire north Bengal was connected with Kolkata or South India & solved a major connectivity problem
If terminal station is made at Malda then nearby area will be South Dinajpur only & only upper part of Murshidabad be benefitted as top cities like Baharampur, Balurghat, Raiganj etc all these are 100+km away from Malda . So people of these places will prefer to go Kolkata since Kolkata connectivity is good in all cities & Villages of West Bengal.
please wait...Translate to English1. Yo, right now they can't make new railway zones, but back in the day Bhagalpur was part of Howrah Division & Malda Town was in Katihar division. So this dude Gani Khan Chaudhury, when he was the Railway Minister, he was like, "We need a whole new division up in here!" So he brought in the Malda Division to meet the needs of Malda, Sahibganj, Munger, Bhagalpur.
2. Ain't nobody using Old Malda Jn much 'cause both stations are on the same damn route. Malda court's line is close to the Bangladesh border, so Malda Town is the primary station since it's closer to the city itself.
3. Can't do it cuz they gotta build a new bridge over the Mahananda River and it's gotta run parallel to NH 12. So for the 3rd and 4th lines, they gonna build it near the Malda Bypass of NH12 to ease up the traffic on the current main line. MLDT-EKI 3rd line, that's doable.
4. Gani Khan Chowdhury didn't want a big terminal station like Howrah 'cause then trains would have to go through Katihar and Barauni for everywhere which would take more time. So he came up with the idea of a new route from Kolkata to Siliguri, through Malda by building a bridge over the Ganga River. With the Farakka Barrage in place, the whole North Bengal got connected to Kolkata and South India, solving a major connectivity problem.
If they make a terminal station in Malda, only the nearby area of South Dinajpur and the upper part of Murshidabad would benefit 'cause big cities like Baharampur, Balurghat, Raiganj are all over 100 km away from Malda. So folks from these places would prefer going to Kolkata since the connectivity to Kolkata is solid in all cities and villages of West Bengal.
