Rainagar 'No Name Railway Station' in India; A station that functions without a name
Indian Railway (IR) runs more than 20,000 passenger trains daily, on both long-distance and suburban routes, from 7,349 stations across India, many of these stations are very popular for a variety of reasons.
Some of these have always been the subject of debate for several reasons. This article is explaining such a railway station, which has no identity, or no name of its own. It is an unnamed railway station in the Adra Railway Division of West Bengal.
According to Wikipedia, Old narrow-gauge Bankura–Damodar Railway (also called as Bankura Damodar River Railway) connecting Bankura and Rainagar in Bankura and Bardhaman districts was opened to traffic in sections between 1916 and 1917.
This unique No Name Railway Station is located in the Bankura-Masagram railway line, between two villages, Raina and Rainagarh.
The station was earlier known as Rainagarh, but the people of Raina village protested and demanded that the station be named after their village. Due to this, there was a conflict between the people of both the villages.
As the fight escalated and the issue came to the attention of the Railway Board, the authorities were removed the station name from the signboard of the railway station to resolve the conflict. But since then, the authorities have not given the station another name.
Although the railways still issue tickets to the station under the old name of Rainagarh, according to the name on the station record. In official records, the station still goes by the name of Raina/Renanagar (RNGR). As a result, outbound travelers face a lot of problems, which makes it very difficult for their journey.
