The Milita Manch of Brahmapur on Tuesday submitted a memorandum to the East Coast Railway General Manager through the Brahmapur Railway Station Manager on Tuesday demanding the station’s development.
Though the Brahmapur railway station is the second highest revenue-generating station and students, employees and pilgrims are travelling daily from here, this 100-year-old station is yet to be developed, it was stated in the memorandum.
Manch members also demanded extension of the route of Delhi-Bhubaneswar Rajadhani Express train to Brahmapur and to regularise the Puri-Ahmedabad train.
Their demands also included a direct train to Puri from Brahmapur and facilities of sleeper and AC Class in Konark Express, Puri-Okha Express and Coromondel Express, etc.
Manch convener Saroj Ranjan Patbaik, adviser Siva Prasad Misra, Mahan Sangh president Susant Sabat, Padma Charan Das and Abani Kumar Gaya were present, among others, at the time of submission of the memorandum.
