As an assisted railway, the DHR fell into the control of [[Indian Railways]] (IR) after independence. Between 1948 and 1950, the Kishanganj branch was converted to metre gauge and transferred, as part of the '''Assam Rail Link''', to the [[Assam Railway]]. In 1952, the DHR became part of [[North Eastern Railway]] but in 1958 it was transferred to the newly formed [[Northeast Frontier Railway]], an IR zone.
