If not Darjeeling Mail or some other exisiting trains, why not run new trains? If commissioning of new platforms at BPC is going to take several more years (God knows how many), then why not run at least train services from RHA or KNJ? Why not divert say trains like 13177/78 via RHA-KNJ-BPC-Nasipur Bridge, or run 13117/18 upto AZ (instead of LGL)? And from your disdainful commentary about Ranaghat being a "tiny town" - it's evident that you seem to be yet another condescending "নাক উঁচু" arrogant Calcatian আঁতেল off the block for whom the entire world begins and ends at your sorrow "Kolkotta" (I like how South Indians mis-pronounce your city's name)!
For...
more... your kind information, there's a big rich state called West Bengal, far bigger and mightier than your tiny puny Kolkotta - which is no longer a Metro city that it once used to be, but reduced to a Tier 5 Village - perhaps the biggest village of this country - the capital of utter lawlessness, orderlessness, misery, chaos and anarchy, with zero respect of your environment and ecology and the air, water and soil you continue to molest even to this day. This city has never learnt the words "Ethics", "Aesthetics" or even rudimentary "Cleanliness", and out of nowhere its so-called intellectual Buddhibichi... pardon me, "BuddhiJeebis" suddenly have the arrogance to call out other towns as "tiny"... Why bother equating every other entity in the world to the size of your weenies?
Also for your kind information, there are far greater (not to mention more prosperous) districts like Nadia and Murshidabad who deserve much better connectivity to carry out their day-in-day-out activities and trade, and instead have no option but to quietly heed to whatver 3rd worldly services facilitated by the Baboos seated nicely at their AC rooms in Kolkata/Delhi. The demography of these districts (like many others) deserve better seamless connectivity to the rest of the state and country, and not always run to Kolkata in the paltry few handful trains currently facilitated. Lakhs everyday commute to and from Ranaghat and Krishnanagar and Kalyani for administrative activities, business/trade, education and tourism (even the state's only AIIMS is in Nadia district, not very far from your "tiny town"!)...
The more said about Murshidabad district, the lesser it is. Such a critical district, with its towns separated by the Ganga/Bhagirathi river have so little for connecting its two sides. Thank God for the new Berhampore Bypass along NH12, or else the entire district's lifeline is that single lane narrow Khagra Bridge - in a condition to collapse any day now! At this juncture, I can understand how it would be incomprehensibile and inconceivable for naive ignorant folks sitting at distant Kolkata to imagine the horrors of commuting and travelling within Murshidabad district, and the inevitability and urgency to get trains started on the newly inaugurated Nasipur bridge at the earliest.
If the so-called Buddhijeebis based out of Kolkata had even an iorta of compassion for their fellow citizens of the very same state, they would have at least had the decency to respect the rights, demands and protests of these commuters that have been going on since time immemorial, instead of bearing the sheer disgraceful arrogance of mocking them and calling out with adjectives like "manipulative" or "illiterate". And then they wonder, why some districts of the Bengal (in the North and West) wish to separate and carve out of this state. নির্লজ্জ, বেহায়া, কানকাটা সব একেকটা, নিজেদেরকে বেশি বিজ্ঞ মনে করলে যা হয় আরকি...
