Sundargarh BJP MP and former Union Minister Jual Oram had a harrowing time along with other passengers on Friday night and Saturday when the Puri-Hatia Tapaswini Express was stranded for more than six hours at two railway stations in Angul district due to engine failure.
The train halted at the Angul railway station for over three hours late on Friday night and again at the Bamur station for more than three hours on Saturday morning.
Oram, who was travelling from Bhubaneswar to Rourkela along with RSS Kshetra Sampark Pramukh PK Mishra, took to Tweeter and sought intervention of Railway Minister Piyush Goyal for restoration of the train service.
Later, the train resumed its service following restoration work.
