New Farakka (Bengali: নিউ ফারাক্কা) is a railway station on the Howrah-New Jalpaiguri line and is located in Murshidabad district in the Indian state of West Bengal. New Farakka railway station lies south of the Farakka Barrage.
Farakka Barrage[edit]
The 2,240 metres (7,350 ft) long Farakka Barrage carries a rail-cum-road bridge across the Ganges. The rail bridge was thrown open to the public in 1971, thereby linking the towns of Murshidabad district to Malda, New Jalpaiguri and other railway stations in North Bengal.[1][2]
