Jamshedpur, July 21: OBC Railway Karmchaari Sangh (OBCRKS), Chakradharpur has demanded the operation of a MEMU train between Badampahar and Rourkela.

“A MEMU train between Badampahar and Rourkela under Chakradharpur railway division is our long-standing demand and it must be met immediately.

The OBCRKS general secretary also pointed out that by introducing the MEMU train between Badampahar and Rourkela through Tatanagar, not only people of the two steel plants cities will be benefitted, but the move will also bring immense relief to the scores of railway employees who have to commute between the two places, especially between Tatanagar and Rourkela.
