BHAWANIPATNA: The recently announced Railway Budget has evoked resentment among the people of Kalahandi as many important train connectivity proposals for the district have not been taken into consideration.
Sources said local residents were hopeful of proposals like the extension of Howrah-Titilagarh Ispat express train up to Kesinga/Bhawanipatna, Bhubaneswar-Bolangir and Durg-Puri Intercity to Kesinga and Junagarh Road-Sambalpur passenger train up to Puri via Talcher besides new train service from Junagarh road station to Visakhapatnam.
