Mughalsarai Junction: From Bustling Hub to Silent Streets, A 156-Year History

• Mughalsarai Junction, now Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Junction, is a 156-year-old station with a rich history.
• A century ago, Mughalsarai was an undeveloped area, primarily just the railway platform and its immediate surroundings.
• The area's growth was driven by its status as a crucial railway junction, with four major rail routes connecting to Gaya, Danapur, Banaras, and Delhi.
• Despite its railway importance, many pre-independence railway colonies are now dilapidated, leading to population decline and desolation.
• Once lively streets and blocks are now silent, with many areas turning into ruins as residents have migrated away.
