Burimari (Bengali: বুড়িমারী) is a border railway station in Bangladesh, situated in Lalmonirhat District, in Rangpur Division. It is a land border crossing point and a defunct railway transit point on the Bangladesh-India border. The corresponding point on the Indian side is Changrabandha in Cooch Behar district.[1]
The Lalmonirhat-Malbazar metre gauge line was developed by the Bengal Dooars Railway in the closing years of the nineteenth century.[2] With the partition of India in 1947, the Indian side of the line terminated at Changrabandha and the Pakistani side, later Bangladeshi side, at Burimari.[3]
The line between New Mal Jn. and Changrabandha is now (2016) converted to broad gauge. A pair of DMUs have been introduced on this route from Siliguri to Changrabandha via New Mal Jn from 20 January 2016.[4]
The Karotoa Express runs daily between Burimari to Santahare Junction [via Gaibandha-Bogura) and [[Lalmonirhat railway station]]. There are 1 local and 2 commuter trains daily between Burimari and Lalmonirhat-Rangpur-Perbottipur.[5] [6] [7]
