Navaron Jessore—also written as “Nabharan”—is an emerging new settlement located in Sharsha Upazila of Jessore District in the Khulna Division of Bangladesh. Lying between the N706 and the N765, Navaron Jessore is becoming steadily more significant as transport increasingly becomes a more important factor than services, especially if you are an expat. The area looks set to receive a lot more infrastructure in the near future.
Where Is Navaron?
Navaron is situated on the Jessore–Benapole highway (N706 of the National Highways) of Jessore Road and historically it connects Jessore town and Benapole border with India.
It is located in Sharsha Upazila, one of the 11 union parishads of Jhikargacha Upazila in Jessore District.
The local railway station, Nabharan Railway Station, is on the Jessore–Benapole branch line.
Transport & Infrastructure
Navaron is connected to two major highways – N706 and N765. … N706 Jessore Benapole Highway N765 Jessore Bypass is an inter-engagement point between Jessore and Satkhira. This has turned Navaron into a small transportation center for people moving between Jessore town, the border, and southwestern areas such as Satkhira.
Nabharan Railway Station was located in 1884 and had two tracks with one platform. It is still in operation and belongs to the western zone of Bangladesh Railway. A proposed Navaron–Munshiganj rail line would add to the existing rail line from Navaron towards Satkhira, with circular rail connectivity to Sundarbans and Munshiganj.

The proposed Navaron–Munshiganj railway line indicates a future change with south-western Bangladesh connected more directly to regional economic hubs.
Navaron Jessore may be tiny, but it finds itself assuming an increasingly prominent place on Bangladesh’s map.
