Answer & Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
Hubballi Junction (Karnataka) is the longest railway platform in India, measuring
1,507 metres. It became the
Rank 1 longest platform after receiving certification from
Guinness World Records in early 2023.
Before Hubballi,
Gorakhpur Junction held the 1st rank with a platform length of
1,366.33 metres. It was the longest platform in India until Hubballi surpassed it in 2023.
Kollam Junction in Kerala has a platform length of around
1,180 metres. It was once among the top long platforms but never held Rank 1.
Kharagpur Junction in West Bengal has a platform length of about
1,072 metres. It held the
Rank 1 position for many years before Gorakhpur overtook it.
Thus, the longest railway platform in India is now
Hubballi Junction.
