Amid a trial run of a Howrah-PuriVande Bharat Express on Friday, the Odisha Government demanded introduction of the high-speed trains for Bhubaneswar-Hyderabad, Puri-Rourkela and Puri-Howrah routes.
State Transport Minister TukuniSahu wrote a letter in this regard to Railway Minister AshwiniVaishnaw.
“I would like to request you to introduce Vande Bharat Express trains through Odisha to meet the growing aspirations of people. Request you to introduce a Vande Bharat Express train between Puri and Howrah to offer faster travel options to passengers,” Sahu wrote.
