ROURKELA: Even BJP leaders are fighting among themselves demanding new railway division at Rourkela and Jharsuguda, the Rourkela Railway Division Action Committee (RRDAC), has decided to seek intervention of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to consider the Steel City on merit. The apolitical outfit announced this at an all party meeting on Sunday.
According to RRDAC convenor Suman Dutta, Rourkela railway junction in the mining and industrial district of Sundargarh deserves to have a railway division and Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik too had mooted for unification of railway networks in Odisha with creation of a new division at Rourkela under the East Coast Railway (ECoR) with bifurcation of the Chakradharpur Division (in Jharkhand) of South Eastern Railway (SER).
