As per Indian Railways, the South Coast Railway Zone has been newly created. Its headquarters is at Visakhapatnam. Some concerns have been raised about the stations included in this zone. The factual position is clarified below- ● Palasa - Ichchapuram Section (~ 50 km) consists of 7 stations, namely Palasa, Summadevi, Mandasa Road, Baruva, Sompeta, Jhadupudi, and Ichchapuram. All these stations are situated in the Srikakulam district of Andhra Pradesh. None of these stations is located within Odisha. ● These stations are small to mid-sized stations handling primarily passenger traffic. None of them is a major freight loading point. ● Therefore, ECoR’s revenue remains unaffected. ● Pass-through freight traffic (trains transiting through these stations en route) will continue uninterrupted regardless of which zone’s jurisdiction the stations fall under. ● Railway operations are seamless across zonal boundaries. ● No disruption to train services. All existing trains, including Palasa–Bhubaneswar, Palasa–Cuttack, and Ichchapuram–Cuttack MEMU/passenger services, will continue to operate without any change in schedule, route, or frequency. ● This is a technical revision to ensure the smooth functioning of the passenger services in the Vishakapatnam division. ● The modalities of the transfer, including staff deployment, are being finalised between ECoR and SCoR. The interests and service conditions of all railway employees will be fully protected as per established norms. ● Government’s commitment to Odisha is unwavering. Record capital expenditure on railway network expansion in Odisha, station modernisation, Vande Bharat services, and the newly created Rayagada Division under ECoR are evidence of this commitment.

#WATCH | Bhubaneswar, Odisha: State School and Mass Education Minister Nityananda Gond says, "STs, SCs and OBCs had the right to reservation in medical, engineering and higher education. The past government could not do it. But our Mohan Majhi government has made arrangements for SEBC (Socially and Economically Backward Classes) and their reservation. The reservations have been increased to 22.5% for STs, and to 16.25% for SCs... The OBCs have been given a reservation of 11.25%. We will implement it from this year... "

#WATCH | West Bengal: Addressing a public rally in Cooch Behar, Prime Minister Narendra Modi says, "So far, the BJP government at the Centre has reached every kind of basic facility to our sisters. We have made 3 crore sisters Lakhpati Didis, but it is very necessary that the role of women increases even more in the decisions being made for the country. Therefore, our government has enacted a law to provide 33% reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies. Efforts are now being made to ensure that sisters across the country, including West Bengal, benefit from this starting from the Lok Sabha elections in 2029. Therefore, the government has scheduled a special session of Parliament on April 16, 17, and 18. This right of our mothers and sisters has been pending for 40 years. Any further delay is not right. From Cooch Behar, I once again assure all states of the country that those states that have done good work in population control will not face any loss in terms of seats. Everyone will benefit. The participation of all states and everyone's rights will remain protected. We want to firmly stamp this in Parliament: that additional seats should be increased for women so that states can reap major benefits from it." #WestBengalAssemblyElections2026

#WATCH | West Bengal Assembly Elections | Addressing a public meeting in Cooch Behar, Prime Minister Narendra Modi says, "This time in Bengal, on one side there is the fear of TMC, and to counter it, you have the trust of BJP. On one side is the fear of TMC's 'cut money' and 'corruption.' On the other side is the trust in the BJP, which accelerates development. On one side is the fear of infiltration, of settling foreigners here. On the other side is the BJP's trust in stopping infiltration and driving all infiltrators out of Bengal. On one side is the fear of losing freedom on one's own land due to changing demographics. On the other side is the BJP, which instils unwavering confidence in living with pride on one's own soil, head held high. On one side is the fear of losing one's property in a syndicate rule. On the other side is the trust in having a solid roof over one's head and ownership rights to the land. On one side are the cries of sisters like those in Sandeshkhali and the brutal atrocities committed against daughters. On the other side is Modi's guarantee of security, respect, and empowerment for women's power."

#WATCH | Bhubaneswar, Odisha | On Special Session for Women’s Reservation Bill in Parliament, Congress state president Bhakta Charan Das says, "The demand for reservation has been ongoing from the beginning... Merely implementing 33% reservation won't suffice. You also have to see what percentage of women from the SC-ST and OBC categories are coming under this purview. This is essential... If you implement a reservation and it slips away somewhere else, those who truly need it won't benefit, and that would be wrong... You have to identify it. How much benefit will go to what percentage of women from which categories, how far will political empowerment reach, how much economic empowerment there will be, how much benefit there will be in jobs or self-employment—these are all things we must examine in a comprehensive perspective... All parties are fighting for this, although Congress initiated it..."
