After few years Waini removed and known as Pusa Road for a long. After 1990s this station got renamed as Khudiram Bose Pusa Railway Station to honour the youngest Indian revolutionary freedom fighter to be executed by the British, Bengali revolutionary Khudiram Bose, who was caught here by two armed constables.
