A delegation of the Cuttack Nagarika Manch headed by advocate Chittaranjan Mohanty on Monday submitted a memorandum addressed to the Khurda Division Railway Manager (DRM) demanding Passenger and Express trains to halt for at least two minutes at the Naraj station. Since there has been an inordinate delay in doubling of the Cuttack-Bhubaneswar railway tracks, most trains, including at least nine Express trains, are not coming to Cuttack stations and are diverted through Naraj.
People of Cuttack city either go to Bhubaneswar in south or Jajpur in north to travel by these trains. The delegation submitted the memorandum to the Cuttack Railway Station Manager here and pointed out that since Cuttack and Bhubaneswar are twin cities, all south-bound trains originating from Bhubaneswar should begin their journeys from Cuttack.
