This is a tricky issue. Strong demand from the people is good.
Demand from the government has to be shuttle. If the govt. demands too forcefully then in the process Vizag division will be gone out of ECOR as Vizag people are demanding the same. On the other hand if the Odisha government demands (but not too forcefully) it then it becomes a hedge against losing Vizag division as SER with the Railway minister from West Bengal is not inclined to let some part of SER go to ECOR that easily.
But if the people of Rourkela and Odisha demand it forcefully then they will get the other things like what has happened with respect to Vizag. For example, they got many new trains originating from Vizag.
