Dhubri is the terminal railway station on the Fakiragram–Dhubri branch line. It also links to the New Cooch Behar–Golokganj branch line. A new line is being laid to connect Dhubri with Jogighopa. It is located on the west bank of the Brahmaputra in Dhubri district in the Indian state of Assam. Important trains like Alipurduar–Silghat Town Rajya Rani Express,[1] Siliguri–Dhubri Intercity Express[2] are available from Dhubri. It lies under Alipurduar railway division of Northeast Frontier Railway zone.
Dhubri district occupies the south-west corner of Assam. It borders on Bangladesh, and the Indian states of West Bengal and Meghalaya. The Brahmaputra divides the district into two parts. Tributaries of the Brahmaputra such as Gangadhar, Gaurang, Tipkai, Champamoti in the north and Jinjiram, Jinari and Kaloo in the south are all major contributors of floods in the area.[3][4]
