Sir, when the train was introduced, we thought that it will be a superfast train which will run daily. But actually, it was neither a superfast train nor is it running daily. It takes more time than the train which was running on that section. I wanted a train from Bankura to Howrah. In my letter, I mentioned that no additional rake is required as it is already there and the decision is to be taken only by the Railway Board to extend that train upto Howrah.

19.00 hrs. Much depends on the Shalimar coach terminal. It was sanctioned ten years back. Twelve platforms were to be constructed. But not a single platform has come up so far. I do not find sufficient allocation for the coach terminal at Shalimar or for the South-Eastern Railway. The trains of South-Eastern Railway should be taken to the Shalimar terminal. The capacity of Howrah station is already congested. It cannot be increased. But there is no sufficient allocation. He has also seen it. We visited the Shalimar coach terminal together. We have seen the progress of work for the last ten years. It is nothing. How can there be progress unless the money is allocated? I do not know what is the programme of the Railways. I also want to refer to Tarakeshwar-Arambagh, New Jalpaiguri-New Bongoigaon lines for conversion from metre-gauge to broad-gauge. There is a demand for electrification from Krishnanagar to Lalgola. The district of Murshidabad is the most neglected district in respect of railways. There is a single line. There is no electrified traction. The electrification of Krishnanagar-Lalgola section is needed urgently.

Further, I would like to request for a Coaching Terminal at Titlagarh junction, an over-bridge at Titlagarh station, a rake unloading platform at Balangir railway station, introduction of a DMU train between Titlagarh and Rayagada to solve the problems faced by daily passengers of Balangir, Kalahandi, Rayagada and Koraput districts, introduction of an Express train between Sambhalpur and Nagpur via Titlagarh, restoration of Day Express train facility from Titlagarh junction, like the Link Express to Raipur on Fridays and the Samata Express to Vizianagram on Mondays and lastly, the conversion of the Nuapada-Gunupur narrow gauge line to broad gauge, which has been included in the Budget should be extended up to Rayagada and the token Budgetary provision of Rs.1000 should be raised to a realistic amount.
