To connect Dhaka with Guwahati via Mymensingh-Jamalpurganj-Dewanganj Bazar - Goalpara, British started laying Dewanganj Bazar - Mahendraganj - Rowmari-Hatisinghmari - Goalpara-Guwahati MG Railway line in 1937-40. But after partition of India in 1947 was finalized the Dewanganj-Hatisnghmari section of the under construction rail line was scrapped. Hatisinghmari to Guwahati was never made. Later in 1998 New Bongaigaon-Goalpara-Guwahati BG Line was laid including 2298 mtrs long Naranarayan RcR Bridge on Brahmaputra. Now Dewanganj-Shalur Morhe Road connects Rowmari with Dewanganj, with the road running on the erstwhile MG railway line alignment.
