13015/16 ko starting se hi Nonihaat station me halt dena chahiye tha. ER ke HQ me baithe logon ne is area ko theek se samjha hi nahin.. aur aise halts diye hain jo deserve nahin karte the.
sabse pahle DUMK-BGP line me Barapalasi halt.. Barapalasi ek small sa village hai jahan mostly bus bhi nahin rukti hai.. Dumka se 12-15kms door basa hua hai. Wahan 13016 ko 7 min ka halt diya gaya hai. reason ER HQ wale better jaante honge.
Nonihaat station actually Basukinath Dham (Bhole Baba ki Nagri) jane ka...

station hai. BGP se bhi aur RPH side se bhi log Basukinathdham aate hain. Nonihaat ko halt diya hi nahin gaya jabki RNC-DUMK Exp 1st day se BSKH me ruk rahi hai.
DUMK-BGP line me Nonihaat Station usi BSKH ko cater karta.. Barapalasi Halt literally useless hai.
same way me BHLE (Barahat Jn) sunsaan virane khet khalihaan ke bich basa hua station hai jahan raat ke 7:30 baje aana aur jana dono mushkil hai .. road ki jagah gadhhe hain.
real barahaat place actually Panjwara Road Halt hai. Jo main city me hai. Panjawara Road Halt me train rukti to logon ko suvidha hoti BHLE deboard hone walw log MDLE me utar ke Auto se 2.5 time extra deke Barahat jaate hain.
Nonihaat Halt milna better hai.. patronage badhega. Barapalasi useless hai usko hata dena better.
Dumka me waise bhi 10 min ka halt hai 13016 ka aur slack ke karan mostly 25 min pahle pahunch jati hai.
