The Story in Brief
Baragada MP Pradeep Purohit met Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw with a memorandum demanding accelerated railway projects and new train services for Baragada and Jharsuguda districts. Purohit urged the minister to ensure punctual operation of the frequently delayed Ispat Express and to improve passenger amenities at Brajarajnagar station.
The MP demanded additional stoppages for long-distance trains at Brajarajnagar, Jharsuguda, Barpali and Attabira, and restoration of discontinued halts. He proposed new services including Bilaspur, Puri Express, two Vande Bharat Express routes, extension of Gondwana Express to Sambalpur, and conversion of Hirakud Express to a daily service. Purohit also pressed for expediting the Baragada, Nuapada railway project.
The Indian Opinion
Another memorandum, another list of demands that will likely gather dust. Politicians in west Odisha routinely blame New Delhi for neglect, but rarely question why local projects already sanctioned crawl for decades. The Baragada, Nuapada line has been pending for so long that schoolchildren who first heard about it now vote. The real test is not how many trains the MP lists, but how many of his previous proposals actually got a single track laid.
