Kamalajari Railway Station coded KMLJ is a railway station currently under construction in the Kamrup rural district of Assam, India. It is an important station on the Tetelia-Byrnihat line of the Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR). The station is situated at an elevation of 57 metres (187 feet) above sea level.[1]

Current status[edit]

Teteliya–Byrnihat line, 22 km long, from Guwahati's suburb Tetelia to Byrnihat near Shillon in Meghalaya is likely to be completed by March 2025.[2] From Byrnihat it will be extended further to Shillong in future.[2] Construction was delayed after a 2017 protest in Ronghana.[3]
