00:00Uttarbango is sitting in the history books.
00:10Siliguri town rail station has been covered in dust and dirt.
00:16Poverty has crushed the station.
00:20A few years ago, whatever name it had, now it has gone down.
00:27Now the question of whether the heritage will remain or not, the locals have a lot of doubts about it.
00:36At one time, the freedom fighter Bagha Chowdhury had killed two British police officers in one shot at this station.
00:45Following this incident, a history has been created on the platform of the station.
00:51Mahatma Gandhi's leader Rabindranath Thakur started from Bagha Chowdhury's mother Teresa and many others had settled in this station of Siliguri.
01:01During the time of Mangpo, Rabindranath Thakur was named at this station.
01:06The Siliguri town station was a bustling place with a restaurant on the left hand side and a shop on the right hand side.
01:15At one time, apart from the toy train of Oiti Chowdhury, the Siliguri town station is now in a dilapidated state from this heritage station.
01:26The station is now full of fire.
01:29The ashes of the dead are sitting here.
01:32After a year, there is no facility to renovate the station.
01:40Raju Basu, the next owner of the Siliguri town station, said that the current Siliguri town station is not the place of the old town station.
01:59The old town station is in a dilapidated state.
02:04They are creating a new Siliguri town station next to the old town station to reconstruct the old town station.
02:18The biggest problem is that it is a women-run station.
02:22We cannot see the connectivity with the old railway station.
02:28The most important thing is that the new railway station is a women-run station.
02:36If we could create a beautiful museum complex in the new railway station,
02:56if we could transform the surrounding communities into a DHR heritage community,
03:12if we could dedicate the DHR heritage to the children who have been raised here,
03:22if we could create a beautiful market for the children,
03:28we know that there are many wholesale markets.
03:31It has been there for many years.
03:33But there is a convergence between the government and the civil society.
03:42If we could create a complex for the art and music of Siliguri,
03:55if we could create a complex for the children who have been raised here,
04:02if we could create a complex for the art and music of Siliguri,
04:07if we could create a complex for the art and music of Siliguri,
04:17if we could create a complex for the art and music of Siliguri,
04:27if we could create a complex for the art and music of Siliguri,
04:35if we could create a complex for the art and music of Siliguri,
04:45if we could create a complex for the art and music of Siliguri,
04:55if we could create a complex for the art and music of Siliguri,
05:03if we could create a complex for the art and music of Siliguri,
05:11if we could create a complex for the art and music of Siliguri,
05:19A new station has been built next to the Siliguri Town Station.
05:25The current name of the station is Siliguri Town Station.
05:28Only a few people are allowed to go to this station.
05:33The name of this new station is Sarvotro.
05:36The reason is that this station is completely owned by women.
05:41It is known that in 2022, the responsibility of this station has been given to women.
05:47The Siliguri Town Station is the northernmost railway station in the country.
05:51It is the first fully female-operated railway station in the country.
05:57This is the only railway station in the country
06:00where women operate the train from Asha-Jawa-Srina-Lok operation.
06:08There is no other female-operated station like this in the country.
06:12According to the whole country, there are only three stations
06:17where women operate the train from Asha-Jawa-Srina-Lok operation.
06:25So, the Siliguri Town Station has caught the attention of the state as the second railway station.
06:31But the locals say that if the old station is also created next to the new station,
06:38the history of Siliguri will be preserved.
06:41Now let's see what the government has to say about the Siliguri Town Station.
