The newly formed Rayagada Railway Division under East Coast Railway has officially started operations on June 1, 2026. Led by Amitabh Singhal, a 1995 batch IRSEE officer, the division aims to strengthen rail administration and infrastructure in South Odisha. The establishment of this division will facilitate independent train control, faster decision-making, and better coordination with industries and state agencies. It is expected to significantly boost freight transport and economic growth in the mineral-rich tribal regions of Odisha. https://odishasambad.in/new-railway-era-begins-in-south-odisha-in-rayagada-division-starts-functions/ #creator program
