Indian legislator opposes railway merger, arguing it could harm Odisha's development.

Congress leader Srikant Jena wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi opposing the merger of East Coast Railway's Waltair division with the new South Coast Railway zone. Jena argues this move will weaken ECoR and harm Odisha's development. He urged the PM to strengthen ECoR instead, suggesting the inclusion of Sundargarh, Balasore, and Mayurbhanj districts under its jurisdiction.
