ECOR, Keonjhar, Railways, SER, Sundergarh July 3rd. 2007, 9:54amThe following article from Sambada suggests connecting Bimlagarh with Nayagarh (near Keonjhar) for a shorter Bhubaneswar-Rourkela route. It talks about the delay in constructing the Talcher – Bimlagarh line and proposes this alternative.
