Big Boost for Odisha’s Railways: New Lines and Amrit Bharat Train to Link Ganjam and Surat
Odisha is set for a major upgrade in railway infrastructure, with the Central Government greenlighting the construction of around 2046 kilometers of new railway lines across the state. This exciting development promises better connectivity and easier travel for people in the region.
One of the highlights is the upcoming Amrit Bharat Train service between Brahmapur in Ganjam district and Surat in Gujarat. Residents of Ganjam are thrilled about this news, as it directly addresses their daily travel woes.
For many in Ganjam, especially migrant workers, the trip to Surat is a regular grind. Thousands head there every year for jobs and better livelihoods, but they’ve faced tough challenges. Before this, just two trains connected Ganjam to Surat, leading to packed coaches and last-minute scrambles for tickets. Travel on this route often meant discomfort and delays.
The new Amrit Bharat Train changes all that. It will offer more seats, greater comfort, and frequent services, making journeys smoother for everyone. This modern train, known for its passenger-friendly features, is a game-changer for Odisha railway connectivity.
Local voices are buzzing with excitement. Madhusudan Bishoyi, a frequent traveler, shared his relief: "This is huge for us! The train will cut down on overcrowding and make our trips quicker and easier."
Anil Kumar Behera, another Ganjam resident, added, "We’ve pushed for better rail links for years. It’s great to see the government stepping up and listening to us."
This initiative isn’t just about one train—it’s part of a larger push to build Odisha’s railway network and support migrant workers’ lives. By improving public transport, the government aims to foster inclusive growth and connect more people across India.
As Ganjam gears up for the launch, the vibe is all about hope and a brighter, better-connected tomorrow.
