Gomoh and Netaji
Gomoh is a census
town in Dhanbad
district in the Indian state of Jharkhand. It is
a major railway junction (renamed Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Junction Gomoh on
23 January 2009) situated on the Grand
Chord Line
under Dhanbad division of the East Central Railway. Gomoh is the meeting point
for trains coming from Howrah
(Eastern Railway), Ranchi/Bokaro (South Eastern Railway) and Puri (South
Eastern Railway). Gomoh is a place of historical importance also. On his great
escape, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose caught Howrah -Kalka Mail (then known as 63UP
Howrah-Peshawar Express) on 18 January 1941. There is a statue of Netaji on
platform no. 1 & 2 at Gomoh railway station which reminds people of his
historic halt. Every year on 23 January, the railway employees organize a small
cultural program to celebrate Netaji's birthday
