Demarcation Process Underway
The process of demarcating the areas for the proposed Rayagada Railway Division in Odisha is currently in progress. Railway officials have indicated that once this identification process is completed, an official notification will be issued. A senior railway official confirmed that the Rayagada railway division has not yet been officially notified, as the areas involved are still being identified.
East Coast Railway Zone Structure
The Rayagada Railway Division will be established within the East Coast Railway (ECOR) zone, which is headquartered in Bhubaneswar. Presently, the ECOR consists of three divisions: Khurda Road, Sambalpur, and Waltair. The new Rayagada Railway Division will be separated from the Waltair division, marking it as the fourth division of the East Coast Railway zone and the 70th division across the country.
Foundation Stone Laid
On a notable occasion, Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone for the Rayagada Railway Division Building in Odisha through an online medium. This event signifies the importance of the new division and its anticipated impact on the region’s railway infrastructure.
