Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan and railway minister Ashwini Vaishnaw will flag off the inaugural run of Bhadrak-Nayagarh Town-Bhadrak MEMU at Cuttack railway station on Thursday.
On the inaugural day, this train will leave from Cuttack station at about 3.15pm. However, the regular service will commence from March 31.
This is a long pending aspiration of the people of both Bhadrak and Nayagarh districts. The Railway Minister had announced plans to provide a new train from Bhadrak towards Bhubaneswar during the foundation stone laying ceremony of redevelopment of Bhubaneswar railway station
This is the result of Vaishnaw’s continuous focus for the comfort and convenience of the passengers of the region. This train will provide facilities to the public of the respective regions for direct journey instead of changing transportation facilities at intermediate places.
Bhadrak-Nayagarh MEMU (08555/08556) will leave Bhadrak at 5.45am and reach Nayagarh Town at 11.55am. In the return direction, it will leave Nayagarh Town at 5.05pm and reach Bhadrak at 10.45pm.
