Kaparpura railway station, station code KVC, is a railway station on Muzaffarpur–Gorakhpur main line under the Samastipur railway division of East Central Railway zone. Kaparpura is situated beside National Highway 28 near Shahbazpur and Sadatpur in Muzaffarpur district of the Indian state of Bihar.[1][2][3]
Future Plans for Kaparpura Railway Station
According to media reports, Kaparpura Railway Station, situated on the Gorakhpur–Muzaffarpur rail section, is proposed to be developed as the New Muzaffarpur Terminal Station. This strategic redevelopment plan is aimed at decongesting Muzaffarpur Junction, which currently experiences high passenger and train traffic.
As part of this initiative, the East Central Railway zone is planning to develop Kaparpura as a full-fledged terminal station, capable of handling originating and terminating trains. This will facilitate better train operations, reduce turnaround time, and improve service reliability in the region.
Additionally, it has been decided that a New Railway Cabin will be constructed at Sadatpur, located just before Kaparpura station. The cabin will be managed by a Station Master-level officer, and will serve as a crucial operational control point. It will manage signalling and point operations for trains moving towards both Kaparpura and the Sitamarhi rail section
The proposed cabin at Sadatpur will also function as a Junction point, enabling trains to diverge towards different directions—Kaparpura and Sitamarhi—thereby enhancing operational flexibility. Currently, trains bound for both sections operate on a shared line, but with the new junction point in place, the two routes will be operationally independent.[4]
