History

This station was built in 2008. Earlier it was a halt station where only a few suburban trains halted but now most of the trains stop here. Earlier people of this localities had to go to New Barrackpur railway station or Birati railway station to board trains. The station has improved accessibility and catalyzed local development.

Bisharpara Kodaliya is located on Sealdah–Hasnabad–Bangaon–Ranaghat line of Kolkata Suburban Railway. The link between Dum Dum to Khulna now in Bangladesh, via Bangaon was constructed by Bengal Central Railway Company in 1882–84.[2] The Sealah–Dum Dum–Barasat–Ashok Nagar–Bangaon sector was electrified in 1963–64.[3]
