It is landmark achievement in the railway history. An express train between Bhawanipatna to New Delhi via Balangir-Sambalpur-Allahabad-Lucknow-Kanpur-Aligarh may be introduced to connect these backward districts of kalahandi, Balangir, Bargarh.. etc with the Capital. Similarly, it may be connected with Korba via Balangir-Bargarh-Sambalpur-Jharsuguda-Raigarh-Champa.
