Ganjam, September 10 (IANS). The central government has announced important schemes to strengthen the Odisha railway infrastructure and increase the ease of passengers. Below, approximately 2,046 km of new rail lines will be built in the state. It was also decided to run a new Amrit Bharat train between the Ganjam district to Surat. This train will be particularly beneficial for migrant workers and passengers who regularly travel from Ganjam to Surat. Ganjam district is an important area of Odisha, from where hundreds of migrant workers go to Surat looking for work every day. Currently, two trains from Ganjam to Surat are operated, but with the launch of the new Amrit Bharat train, passengers will get extra facilities. This train will be equipped with modern facilities, which will make the journey more comfortable and easier. Local people believe that this initiative will not only save the travel time, but will also improve their economic and social status. Railway passenger Madhusudan Bishoyi appreciated the initiative and said: “Amrit Bharat train will be very beneficial to the people of Ganjam. Passengers who go to Surat will now become more comfortable. We are grateful for this step of the central government. It would be better for us to start this train as soon as possible.” He emphasized that this train will not only make the journey easier, but will also be a blessing to migrant workers. Similarly, Anil Kumar Behera, a Ganjam resident, also described the scheme as commendable. He said: “This step of the central government is very relieved for migrant workers. Amrit Bharat train will facilitate people’s lives and they will be able to handle their work on time. This train gives passengers an alternative to affordable and comfortable journey.” Anil also emphasized that this train will also contribute to the economic development of the sector, as migrant workers will now get better connectivity. This initiative of the central government will not only reinforce the connection between Ganjam and Surat, but will also expand Odisha’s total rail network. The construction of new railway lines will also promote traffic and trade in other parts of the state. Local people are excited about this scheme and consider it a milestone in the development of the region. This initiative of the central government will not only provide the passengers, but will also give the economic development of Odisha new pace. -Ians Aks/DKP
