Pratapgarh Junction, officially Maa Belha Devi Dham Pratapgarh Junction, is a main railway station in Pratapgarh district, Uttar Pradesh. Its code is MBDP (old code PBH). It serves Pratapgarh city. The station consists of five platforms.
The station is strategically situated on the Prayagraj–Ayodhya and Varanasi–Lucknow railway route. The section is fully electrified.
Many significant passenger amenity projects have been approved for the enhancement of Pratapgarh railway station. Key components include the improvement of the circulating area, the replacement of the old foot overbridge (FOB), the provision of a lounge for passengers, the extension, raising, and enhancement of platforms, platform resurfacing, renovation of waiting rooms, replacement of water hydrants on platform No. 3, the provision of a full-length washing line, renovation of the pay-and-use toilets, the installation of a 10 kWp solar panel, and LED lights in the station building, circulating area, and on the platforms, all at an approximate cost of ₹8.75 crore.
Access to the platforms is provided by two foot overbridges. However, both the platforms and foot overbridges are unsuitable for individuals with disabilities and do not comply with the directives of the Government of India, Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment. The absence of lifts, an escalator, and an underpass makes it challenging for individuals to access other platforms.
