Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts. Some units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value.

Lumding

Railway junction in Nowgong District, Eastern Bengal and Assam, situated in 25° 45' N. and 93° n' E., where the Assam Valley branch of the Assam-Bengal Railway meets the hill section which connects the Brahmaputra Valley with Chittagong, Prior to the opening of the railway, the place was buried in dense tree jungle ; but a considerable area of land has now been cleared, and the railway head-quarters of the Assam branch have been moved to this spot. The line on either side of Lumding passes through miles of almost unin- habited country, so that there is at present little local trade.
