Kakdwip

Kakdwip railway station is important station in sealdah south section of eastern railway, that caters more than a million people of kakdwip subdivision. Two platforms, both can accommodate even 18 bogie train like a long distance express. But there's no such thing, only local trains run here and that is too infrequent in comparison to the demands of the people. Situated some 20 feet above ground level, surrounded by emerald green vegetation, astonishingly clean and maintained. Only pitfall is the station approach road, it is congested, narrow and illmaintained.

Station is good but every time train comes 1 hours later...and place is good
