History
Parbatipur-Ruhia during British period and Ruhia-Panchgarh railway line was constructed in 1967 during Pakistani period. Since then, due to non-renovation, the train movement is about to be stopped. In 2013, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina inaugurated the modern rail link from Panchagarh to Parbatipur in a public meeting at the Panchagarh sugar mill grounds. As part of the development of the government, the 150 km railway line from Panchagarh - Thakurgaon - Dinajpur - Parvatipur was converted into dual gauge at a cost of 982 crores. Development work was completed in 2016 under Bangladesh Railway Western Region.

At present, the work of extending the railway line from Panchagarh railway station to Banglabandha is going on
