Title: Need to introduce additional Rajdhani Express train between Hazarat Nizamuddin and Bhubaneswar on the Hirakud Express Route.
(DHENKANAL): The 2421-2422 and 2443-2444 Bhubaneswar-Hazarat Nizamuddin Rajdhani Express trains are running four days a week covering only four out of thirty districts of Orissa. The rail users of the remaining districts who frequently visit Delhi are not able to get the benefit of these trains. If another pair of Rajdhani Express train is introduced between Hazarat Nizamuddin and Bhubaneswar and vice versa on the remaining three days of the week on the Hirakud Express route via Agra-Gwalior-Sagar, Bina-Bilaspur, Jharsuguda, Sambalpur, Angul and Dhenkanal, a large number of passengers not only from the State of Orissa but also from Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Chhatisgarh will be greatly benefited. Two link Express trains, one from Koraput and Sambalpurvia Kesinga and Bolangir and another from Berhampur to Bhubaneswar should also be introduced to enable the passengers in these areas to board the Rajdhani Express at Sambalpur and Bhubaneswar respectively.
As such, I demand that the Rajdhani Express from Nizamuddin and Bhubaneswar be introduced on the Hirakud Express route without any further delay.
