Is Dibrugarh(DBRG) is the most important railway station after Guwahati(GHY) in Assam or entire North-East.

SCL OR AGTL will take decade Or at least 5years to become comparative to GHY/DBRG.
While Dibrugarh is an important station, I believe stations like NTSK, Kamakhya and Lumbding are equally important. Among the three Kamakhya has especially evolved into an important station for tourism. NTSK is important because of the ease of access to Arunachal, Digboi, Ledo(Digboi and Ledo important for oil and coal). Lumbding is important because it acts as a gateway to Silchar, Halflong etc. Also, Mariani can be stated as an honorable mention.
If the number of trains originating/terminating is considered, it is definitely a very important station. However, if the number of passengers are taken into account, NTSK comes ahead of DBRG.
Reason:
1> Tinsukia is surrounded by Arunachal Pradesh on 3 sides and serves as a hub for them along with its own population(also some towns of Dibrugarh like Naharkatiya, Duliajan, Namrup) and hence have better facilities like e-catering which is absent in DBRG which caters to the population of Dibrugarh only.

DBRG already developed by the railway. Its a brand new station with all the facilities and the old station is DBRT.
