History

The proposal for a Lanjigarh–Junagarh line came in 1991, when Bhakta Charan Das was the state railway minister. The line was announced in the rail budget of 1992. After nearly twenty years, the line was completed in 2011, and Bhawanipatna railway station was opened by Das on 11 August 2012.[1] On the same day, the first Bhawanipatna–Bhubaneshwar link express started from Bhawanipatna.[2]

Opened

The Lanjigarh–Junagarh section was completed by 2 March 2014 and the Bhubaneshwar–Bhawanipatna Express was extended to Junagarh.[3] Junagarh railway station was inaugurated by Minister of State for Railways Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury in the presence of Bhakta Charan Das on 3 March 2014.[4]
