Commuters in Deoria are facing significant difficulties as the road on the eastern side of Nonapar Railway Station has been closed. The closure is due to ongoing RCC casting work on the Bhatni-Bhatparrani route. This has disrupted the daily commute for people from more than 36 surrounding villages who rely on this route to access the station.
Why is the Nonapar station road closed
The road is closed to facilitate the RCC casting of the road surface. This is part of a larger infrastructure project where a two-lane road between Bhatni and Nonapar is being constructed at a cost of approximately 18 crore rupees. The Public Works Department (Provincial Division) is managing the project, and the first installment of 5.48 crore rupees was approved in November 2025.
Impact on local villagers and commuters
The closure has created a ripple effect for students, patients, and traders. Since the eastern side is blocked, people have to take long detours to reach the railway station. The situation is worsened by the fact that another overbridge construction is already underway at the 115 number railway dhala of Bhatni station, which has closed the Bharthua-Bhatni-Bhingari route.
