Bhubaneswar: In view of increasing passenger demand and to enhance travel comfort, Indian Railways has announced the temporary augmentation of one Second Class Chair Car Coach in the 12892/12891 Puri–Bangiriposi–Puri Express.
Starting June 1, the train will operate from Puri with 15 coaches—an increase from the existing 14—until June 30. In the return direction, the additional coach will be attached starting from Bangiriposi on June 2, continuing through to July 1, a press release from East Coast Railway (ECoR) said on Friday.
This move comes after a detailed assessment of passenger traffic and is intended to meet the rising travel demand, particularly from the aspirational districts served by this route. The added Chair Car Coach will provide more seating capacity and improved convenience for daily commuters, tourists, and long-distance travelers alike.
The decision has received widespread appreciation from passengers and public representatives, many of whom have actively voiced their support for the augmentation. Positive feedback has been shared through social media platforms and official feedback channels, reflecting public approval of Indian Railways’ continued commitment to responsive and efficient service delivery.
