Residents of Ankuli industrial area in the city under a banner of the Silpanchal Passenger Halt Sangram Samiti (SPHSS) has decided to stage rail roko on June 2 demanding functioning of a passenger halt at Ankuli.
The decision was taken by the Samiti at a meeting held on Wednesday evening. In the meeting, most of the members expressed grave concern over the apathetic attitude of the Railways and its senior officials for setting up of the passenger halt.
Samiti members including Brahmapur Municipal Corporation (BMC) Deputy Mayor Jyotsna Nayak, SPHSS president Panchanan Choudhury, convener Umacharan Nayak, secretary Abani Gaya and spokesperson Brundaban Sabat said they have requested several important persons starting from Revenue Divisional Commissioner (RDC), Brahmapur to the Railway Minister, but nothing happened till date.
“It is our longstanding demand since 1998, but the railway is not taking any steps to fulfill our demands,” said Choudhury, adding, “If the railway doesn’t take any concrete steps to set up the passenger halt, we will stage rail rok on June 2.”
