• Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Bishnupur-Tarakeswar rail line extension to Joyrambati, Sarada Ma's birthplace.

• Historically, Sarada Ma traveled 40 km by bullock cart from Joyrambati to Bishnupur to catch a train to Kolkata.
• The project, initiated by then Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee in 2000-2001, faced delays due to land acquisition issues at Bhabadighi.
