Modernisation of Rourkela Station

[Dillip707]

Pure conspiracy

8477/8478 Puri-Haridwar Kalinga Utkal Express covers a distance of 683 kms between Rourkela and Puri. i.e. via Kharagpur,Tata. If this train will ply between Puri and Rourkela via Daitari,Kendujhargarh,Bansapani the distance will be reduced to 577 ms thus saving 106 kms . It will reach Rajkharsuan Jn on Howrah-Mumbai mainline after 5 in the morning. Still Railways had the harsh alternative to deprive Rourkela of its only trin to Delhi
