About This Station
Jessore (officially Jashore) Railway Station serves one of Bangladesh's most historically significant and strategically located cities. Jessore sits near the India-Bangladesh border (Benapole land port, 35 km away) and was the first district town to be liberated during Bangladesh's 1971 Liberation War. The city is famous throughout Bangladesh as the flower-growing capital, with vast fields of gerbera, gladiolus, and marigold flowers. Jessore is an important intermediate stop on both the Dhaka-Khulna (Sundarban Express) and Dhaka-Rajshahi (Rupsha Express) corridors. Key cultural attractions near Jessore include Michael Madhusudan Dutt's birthplace in Sagardari - the 19th-century Bengali poet who revolutionised Bengali drama.
