The railway administration conducted a major anti-encroachment drive at Kadhagola Railway Station in Barari on Friday, July 3, 2026. Over 35 illegal houses built on railway land were demolished to make way for the station’s modernization. This action was taken to ensure that passenger facilities can be expanded without any hurdles.
Why was the demolition drive carried out?
The drive was part of the Amrit Station Scheme to modernize the station. The railway administration aims to make the entire area encroachment-free by removing approximately 45 houses. This will allow for the construction of a new road connecting the station directly to the main road, as well as the establishment of organized shops and parking areas.
Who was involved in the operation?
The operation was carried out by the Sonpur Railway Division with the support of local administration and security forces. Key officials and units involved included:
| Official/Unit | Role/Name |

| Circle Officer (Barari) | Manish Kumar |
| Assistant Divisional Engineer | K.K. Mishra |
| Senior Section Engineer | Abhinash Kumar |
| RPF Inspector | Munna Kumar |
| Security Force | Local Police and Women Police Force |
What did the railway officials state?
Officials clarified that all affected people were given notices several months in advance to vacate the land. Since the land was not cleared within the given time, the administration used bulldozers to remove the structures. The railway administration stated that no new encroachments on railway land will be tolerated in the future and such actions will continue if necessary.
