Rare Gesture! 500 agitators buy tickets to board train in Bhubaneswar

The passengers from Dhenkanal, Odisha have set a good example for others. Around 500 people who came to Bhubaneswar from Dhenkanal to attend a rally for their cause have purchased tickets to board a train.

Bhubaneswar (Odisha): In a rare gesture, around 500 people who came to Bhubaneswar from Dhenkanal to attend a rally for their cause have purchased tickets to board a train, a railway official said on Wednesday.

This is pertinent to be mentioned here that the purchase of tickets by activists taking part in rallies is actually very rare.

People travelling to attend a public meeting hardly purchase tickets in any part of the country but this incident has made a significant impact on the general public.

"The passengers had purchased train tickets to board Puri-Angul MEMU and set a good example. The leader of the group had also requested our Bhubaneswar Station authority to provide more time to board their train at Bhubaneswar Station. The rally consisted of mostly tribal groups. They purchased 500 General Tickets to travel from Bhubaneswar to Dhenkanal," an official said.
