About 500 passengers from Dhenkanal had come to Bhubaneswar on Monday to attend a rally for their cause. They purchased train tickets to board the Puri-Angul MEMU and set a good example and requested the Bhubaneswar Station authorities to provide more time to board their train at the station.
The rally consisted of mostly tribal groups. They purchased 500 general tickets from Bhubaneswar to Dhenkanal.
This is highlighted by the East Coast Railway (ECoR) as purchase of tickets by activists taking part in rallies is actually very rare. This would set a very good example for the general public, an ECoR release said.
