    Katihar is a lovely City. It is Very peaceful, Very Cosmopolitan,Very Homely place.Personally, I have a Special Attraction for Katihar,as my Father studied here. He did his Schooling from Maheshwari Academy, Katihar. My Father had lot of friends in Katihar,I have no idea as to any one of them is still alive.Katihar Junction Railway Station is One of the Biggest and Bussiest Railway Stations in Easten India, connecting almost all ajor Railway Stations All Over India. Mangal Bazaar of Katihar is Superb, having Jalajog Hotel and Restaurant, serving lovely food.I hope Katihar is as it was Before, as in 1970s and in 1980s.
