In response to growing passenger demand and to enhance travel comfort, Indian Railways has announced the temporary addition of one Second Class Chair Car Coach to the Puri–Bangiriposi–Puri Express.
Starting June 1, 2025, the train will operate from Puri with a total of 15 coaches, an increase from the current 14. The additional coach will also be attached for the return journey from Bangiriposi, beginning on June 2, and will remain in service until July 1, 2025.
This decision follows a thorough assessment of passenger traffic and aims to address the rising demand for travel, particularly from the aspirational districts along this route. The new Chair Car Coach will provide increased seating capacity and greater convenience for daily commuters, tourists, and long-distance travelers.
Passengers and public representatives have widely praised this initiative, with many expressing their support for the augmentation. Positive feedback has been shared on social media platforms and through official feedback channels, reflecting public approval of Indian Railways’ ongoing commitment to responsive and efficient service delivery.
