Ballabh Garh - Faridabad

since my childhood ballabgarh stations are not even changed a little bit- inactive ticket counters,nasty environment,poor system, everything will be developed in india but ballabgarh stations aren't going to changed not even a little ,sad to say but it's a reality "sbke ache din ajygene but ballabgarh station k kbhi ni ane vale "!

This is a so so railway station, here need a lot of infrastructural development, not so clean and neet place... There is not much facilities for a passenger... Only a good thing is, you can reach to main road and metro station within 10 minutes of walking.... You don't have any need to take any auto, riksha etc.

Good looking indian railway station....

Bisan Singh (Nazim) and Kisan Singh (Kiledar) (1753-1774), sons of Balram Singh Ajit Singh "Raja" (1774-1793), assisted by Hira Singh (titled "Raja" and "Salar Jang"), Ajit Singh murdered by his brother Zalim Singh. Bahadur Singh (1793-1806), Hira Singh's son Narain Singh (1806-1806), Bahadur Singh's son Anirudh Singh (1806-1819), Narain's son Sahib Singh (1819-1825), infant son of Anirudh Singh died childless in 1825 Ram Singh (1825-1829), Sahib Singh's uncle and Anirudh Singh's brother Raja Nahar Singh (1829-9 January 1858), Bahadur Singh's son, hanged by British for role in 1857 war of independence. Ballabhgarh jagir abolished and came under direct British rule. Nahar's adopted son and nephew, Kushal Singh, left Ballabhgarh and later became inheritor of jagir of his wife at Kuchesar. The founder: Gopal Singh TewatiaEdit Gopal Singh, a Tewatia Jat, the founder of the princely state of Ballabgarh, migrated from Alwalpur village in 1705, and established himself at Sihi (5 kilometres (3.1 mi) from Ballabhgarh) after displacing Taga Brahman farmers there. Gopal Singh Tewatia of Sihi started establishing his power in Delhi, Khair and Mathura areas. He attacked Rajput Chaudhary of that area with the help of people of Lagon village. He became more powerful and richer and started to waylay the mughal travelers on Delhi-Agra royal route during the reign of Aurangzeb (d. 1707). In 1710, during the reign of Aurangzeb's son Bahadur Shah I, the Mughal officer Murtaza Khan of Faridabad signed a treaty with Goapl Singh confirming Gopal as Chaudhary of Faridabad pargana. He wanted to expand his army and collect huge wealth but soon died in 1711.[5] Gopal's successor was his son Charan Das Tewatia, who was also ambitious. When Charan Das saw weakening of the Mughal rule, he stopped paying malgujari (octroi) to Mughals. As a result, Mughals arrested and imprisoned Charan Das at Faridabad fort for a short time in 1714 during the reign of Farrukhsiyar (r. 1713-1719). His son Balram Singh freed him by pretending to pay the ransom.[5] Charan Das's son, Balram Singh, later rose to be a powerful king. Expansion: Balram Singh (Ballu Jat)Edit In 1720 farmers rose in revolt under the leadership of Balram Singh (Ballu Jat) when during the reign of Muhammad Shah (r. 1719-1748), Mughal officer of Faridabad Murtaza Khan started to impose heavy taxes while famine was raging. Murtaza Khan had in the past also imprisoned Balram's father. Balram killed Murtaza Khan at Faridabad and shut the Mughal traffic on Delhi-Agra route. In 1739, Mughal king bestowed on him titles of "Rao" and "Naib Bakshi". He built the Nahar Singh fort and founded the city of Ballabhgarh is named after him.[5] Jats along the Delhi-Agra route at that time were in revolt against the oppressive Mughal rule. Tewatias of this area had already established themselves as counter force in this area. Balram Jat held the surrounding country as a feudatory of Suraj Mal of Bharatpur (r. 1755 – 1763). He was the brother-in-law of Maharaja Suraj Mal and mama of Jawahar Singh. Balram Singh often called Ballu by the local people moved on a few Elephants, Horses and Camels loaded with Big drums (Nagaade) and Dhaunse (big band) followed by his local army. Went wherever Ballu with this band, it was assumed that area was no longer of Mughals and Ballu had won that. It was a kind of Aswamedh Yagna that he performed. Here from started a saying "Dheeng Dheeng Ballu ka Raj". Immediately peace returned to those areas, which were won over by Ballu. On 11 January 1950, Jat sangh of Balram Singh of Ballabhgarh, Suraj Mal of Bharatpur and Bhim Singh Rana of Gohad waged a battle against Mughal forces of Safdar Jang (b.1708 - d.1754) of Oudh and Mir Salawat Khan during the reign of Mughal emperor Ahmad Shah Bahadur (r. 1748- 1754),[5][6] which Jats won and mughals had to conceded a lot concessions.[5]

Ballabgarh market is very good place to but anything. But there is an parking problem so donot drive car here. Ballabgarh is very crowded place. But very best place.. Everything is there is what you want.

This Ballabgarh Railway Station is good and provides connectivity to various stations. Many express and superfast trains were stopped here for long route journey. The staff is good but can go even better in future. This station is neat and clean but services are not so good since one of its two ticket rooms always remains closed. This causes very problems to the passengers but overall this station is good and infrastructure will improve over the time and beware of pick-pockets, thefts.

Small railway station but must say much neat and clean than Delhi's railway stations. Walking distance from Ballabhgarh metro station.

A small and crowded railway station. At the peak hours, it's nearly impossible to catch the first train arriving. They don't have basic facilities and scorching heat makes the matter worse. Only a few express trains halt here. It's a part of Faridabad district so you can alight here for the same.
