Good capture....Hearing the station name for first time and sounds different with two names clubbed :)
There is a station named Narayan Pakuria Murail (NPMR) on the HWH-KGP section (between Bhogpur and Panskura (see wikimapia). This started as a halt station say 30 years back [residents around the place/regular travellers can throw more light]. We were told that the station was first named as Narayanpur, then as Narayan-Pakuria, then as the one now named - because the residents of each of the adjacent villages started protesting so that each village name should be accommodated - finally it was done!
