I am writing a message from Rampurhat, Birbhum, West Bengal about the Tarapith Temple which is situated in a village Tarapur which is only 9 Km away from Rampurhat Railway station (RPH).The Tarapith is regarded as one of the 52 Shakti Peethams of India. It is said to be so called because the eye ball (tara) of Sati fell here. Others say that Tarapith is not a pith but the place owes its sanctity to the fact that the Sage Basistha here worshipped the Goddes Sati in the form of Tara. The Kamakhya Temple in western part of Guwahati city in Assam is also one of the oldest of the Shakti Peethams. The Kamakhya Temple is well connected to the other part of India through direct train (example – Kamakhya-Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra Express, Kamakhya- Puri Express, Kamakhya –Ranchi Weekly Express, Kamakhya -Anand Vihar Weekly Express, Kamakhya –Mumbai LTT Karmabhoomi...

Express etc.). Even through Rampurhat Railway Station (RPH) is one of the six NSG-3 category railway stations in Eastern Railway and third busiest railway station in Howrah division (After Howrah (HWH) and Barddhaman (BWN) railway station) due to huge number passengers are used this station to visit the Tarapith temple, but there is no such direct express train to connect other parts of India except state capital Kolkata. So, I request to make availability to direct dedicated Express train from Rampurhat (RPH) to Kamakhya (KYQ), Puri (PURI), Patna (PNBE), Varanasi (BSB), Ranchi (RNC), Deoghar (DGHR), Gaya (GAYA) and its vice versa in keeping mind to better service to the visitors of the Tara Maa Temple. Thank you sir. I will happy if you take a look on my point of view.

Well, if u r really concerned about Murshidabad then demand the train from some place of Murshidabad.
Farakka is just 20km longer from Baharampur than Rampurhat. (btw distances that u mentioned are wrong, Baharampur-Rampurrhat distance is 70km whereas Baharampur-Farakka distance is 90km) And more than distance, what matters more is the connectivity. Just check the frequency of buses to Farakka from Baharampur. It's nowhere comparable to the frequency of buses to Rampurhat. And for the people living in the Southern part of district, Bardhaman is more easily accessable to them from where they can easily take trains like Rajdhani, Wbsk and Poorva which takes much lesser time to reach Delhi.

the Sainthia-Chowrigachha project has been cancelled long ago due to highly negative rate of return and land aquisition issues. Only ongoing projects in Bengal right now are Tarakeswar-Vishnupur and Sivok-Teesta Bazar-Rongpo project
