History
editIn between 1893 and 1896 the East Coast State Railway constructed Howrah–Chennai main line. Kharagpur–Puri branch was finally opened for public in 1901. Dulakhapatna derives its name from Dular Khan, the general of Tarakote Raj, who in the late 1740s, was awarded with the village where presently the station stands. [3] The route was electrified in several phases. In 2005, Howrah–Chennai route was completely electrified.[4]
