Passenger amenities:
Hon'ble Speaker Sir, Ministry of Railways was requested for increase in passenger amenities for Orissa with the creation of East Coast Railway and with establishment of its Headquarters in Bhubaneswar the expectation and aspiration of people of Orissa for better infrastructural developments of the stations has been increased. The Ministry of Railways was requested to improve passenger amenities at Puri, Titlagarh, Rayagarha, Raigarha, Koraput, Kessinga, Chattrapur, Balugaon, Jaleswar and Balangir Stations. The Ministry is also requested to further increase computerized network for reservation at Baragarh, Sakhigopal, Kuhudi, Kalupadaghat, Chhatrapur, Hirakud, Khariar Road. Jaleswar and Soro Stations of Orissa. Janakideipur Railway Station under Khurda Division may be developed as a full-fledged Railway Station to cater for a large chunk of people. The 214 down and 213 up Puri- Cuttack passenger train the only train which is helping the service holders, may be provided with additional coaches as the number of commuters have increased causing immense difficulty to the passenger.

Sir, for the passenger amenities, in the last Railway Budget, Government had introduced many things.  But, at the same time, as I stated earlier, we, the State of Kerala, are not getting such importance.  We are getting only the old compartments and old things – if you go to almost all the trains, to all the stations – with regard to the roofing of the railway stations, platforms of the railway stations and the trains that are coming from different destinations.  In this connection, I suggest to start new trains from Delhi and also from Mumbai and Bangalore because lakhs of Keralites are working, and the students are studying in the different cities of India.  So, at least the Railways can start new trains from these cities.
