Bihar CM writes to rly minister, urges him to rename Raghunathpur station after local temple

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has written to Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav requesting him to rename Raghunathpur railway station after Baba Brahmeshwar Nath.

The CM, who on Thursday laid the foundation stone for a beautification project at Baba Brahmeshwar Nath temple complex in Buxar district, said in the letter that locals had long been making this demand.

“As per mythology, this is an ancient temple of Lord Shiva. It was established by Lord Brahma. Devotees throng the shrine to offer prayers throughout the year, especially during Falgun and Shravan months. Local people have been demanding for the last several years that Raghunathpur railway station in Brahmpur division be renamed after Baba Brahmeshwar Nath. “Therefore, the state government recommends that Raghunathpur railway station be renamed as Baba Brahmeshwar Nath station,” said the CM in the letter sent to the railway minister late on Thursday.

Bihar Tourism Minister Narayan Prasad and Jamshedpur East MLA Saryu Rai were among those who were present at the foundation-laying ceremony.
