Seven stations in Khurda division shifted to SCoR

In a key development, seven railway stations under the Khurda division of ECoR have been shifted to the Visakha division of the newly formed South Coastal Railway.
According to an order issued by the railways, the seven stations – Palasa, Summadevi, Mandasa Road, Baruva, Sompeta, Jadupudi and Itchhapuram – in the Palasa-Itchhapuram section of the Khurda division now come under the Visakhapatnam division.
Hailing the decision, Union Minister for Civil Aviation has said the proposal has been in the pipeline since the announcement of the new railway zone in 2019.
Meanwhile, work on the SCoR with its headquarters has gained pace, and the zone is likely to begin its operations very soon.
A sum of Rs. 106.89 crore has been sanctioned for the construction of the zone headquarters building.
The foundation stone for the zone was laid in January 2025, and currently, the foundation work for the headquarters building has been completed.
The VMRDA building, ‘The Deck,’ is ready to facilitate the commencement of the zone’s operations.
