Rayagada: Locals under the banner of Ambodala Citizen’s Committee are staging a rail roko at Ambodala Railway Station in Rayagada district demanding restoration of scheduled stoppages of six express trains.
Stoppage of the trains had been cancelled during the Covid-19 induced lockdown. But even after two years, as the trains are not halting at Ambodala Railway Station the locals resorted to the protest.
Residents of many parts of Rayagada, Kalahandi, and Kandhamal districts depend on the station. The protest will continue till their demands are met, said the members of the Ambodala Citizen’s Committee.
