India /West Bengal /Hooghly /Pandua
The, Small town of Pandua in Hooghly is only 65 km from Kolkata, but the historical significance of the place is almost forgetten. A trip to Pandua is like a journey into the chequered past of Bengal. It was on August 15, 1854, when India’s second train pulled into this little town from Howrah Station. Prior to that, Pandua had lost out on the cahance of being the first to welcome East India Railway, as the engine coming from England was shipped to Australia by mistake and in this time gap, Bombay and Thane became the first places in India to be connected by rail. A marble slab at Pandua station commemorates the historical day. Pandua is one of the historical places in West Bengal (India). This place has witnessed many historical incidents. Eastern Railway has named a train on this place.
