Bhubaneswar: Following the demand of the people, the Indian Railways has renamed the Sambalpur-Shalimar Express as “Mahima Gosain Express”.

A press release of the ministry stated that with the approval of Minister of Railways, Communications and Electronics & Information Technology, Ashwini Vaishnaw, train No. 20832/20831 Sambalpur-Shalimar-Sambalpur Tri-weekly Express (via Angul, Talcher) has been renamed as “Mahima Gosain Express”.

Earlier, Union Minister of Education and Skill Development & Entrepreneurship Dharmendra Pradhan had raised the demand in view of the sentiments and faith of the people towards the Mahima shrine.
