Deoghar - Transport

Transport

Deoghar is well-connected with Ranchi, Patna, Calcutta and all nearby major cities by road.

Deoghar is an important railway station on Jasidih–Dumka–Rampurhat railway line, 6 km from Jasidih junction. A railway line from Jasidih to Deoghar has existed for a long time due to the importance of Deoghar as a religious place and a railway station (called Vaidyanathdham or Baidynathdham Deoghar railway station) has existed inside the Deoghar town. The station is connected with Ranchi by a daily express train. This railway line could not be extended through inhabited area. Therefore a new railway line has been built from Jasidih and the new Deoghar railway station has been built north of the Deoghar town.

Two railway lines branch out from this new Deoghar railway station. The railway line to Dumka goes east from Deoghar and will connect with Rampurhat, perhaps in 2014. It has been completed up to Sikaripara. The new line from Deoghar to Sultanganj goes towards the north and will connect with Sultanganj railway station on the Kiul-Jamalpur-Bhagalpur railway line. The Deoghar–Sultanganj railway line has been completed up to Chandan railway station. A daily passenger train runs from Jasidih to Chandan.
