New Delhi: A delegation of Biju Janata Dal (BJD) on Friday met Union Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw demanding to start passenger services on the Paradip-Haridaspur Railway line for the benefit of the people of Kendrapara district.
The railway line between Paradip-Haridaspur railway line is open for goods and commercial traffic but has not been opened for passengers. This railway line connects people of Kendrapara to the railway network, the BJD MPs told the Railways Minister.
Railways and their development in Odisha have been historically neglected in the last 75 years. Successive Governments have not given adequate attention to the state in terms of railways connectivity.
The Odisha Government under leadership of CM Naveen Patnaik has been providing free land and 50% project cost for various Railway projects in Odisha, the BJD said.
The BJD delegation urged the Union Minister to start the passenger services on the Paradip-Haridaspur railway line which will ensure that after 75 years of Indian Independence, the people of Kendrapara would benefit from railway connectivity.
