Jena requests PM to reconsider decision to delink Waltair Division from ECoR

Bhubaneswar, Dec 1 (UNI) Former Union Minister and senior Congress leader Srikant Jena on Sunday requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi to reconsider the decision to delink the Waltair Division from the East Coast Railway (ECoR) zone.
Expressing his concern over the issue, Jena in a letter to Prime Minister said since its establishment in 1996, ECoR has consistently ranked among the highest revenue contributors to Indian Railways. The removal of the Waltair Division will significantly weaken ECoR, potentially jeopardising its operations and its critical role in Odisha’s development.
Jena said ''I earnestly request your intervention to reconsider this decision and take steps to fortify ECoR rather than dismantle its core structure. I also appeal to you to ensure equitable treatment for Odisha by granting a more comprehensive railway zone in line with the demands of the people of Odisha.''
