Padma Railway Station is a railway station on the Dhaka–Jessore line[1] located in Zajira Upazila, Shariatpur District, Bangladesh.[2]
Ministry of Railways is constructing 172 km broad-gauge railway. The railway line starts from Dhaka, capital of Bangladesh to Jessore. Under the Railway Link Project of Padma Bridge, 14 railway stations will be built and 6 railway station will be repaired. 310 rail bridges will be built for the new railway line. 66 of 310 are major and 244 are minor bridges. Padma is one of the stations of the railway line under construction.[3] Initially this railway station was named as Zajira railway station. But due to dispute between two neighboring districts over the name of the station, the government changed the name of this station to Padma railway station.[4] According to December 2022, the construction progress of the station was 77.70%.[2]
