Growing up in Jeypore, South Odisha, I've seen firsthand the challenges faced by our community due to inadequate rail connectivity. Many residents here, including students, workers, and patients, have a dire need for better connectivity to major cities, especially the capital city of New Delhi. Jeypore is not just a small town; it's a significant hub in South Odisha, yet it remains underserved by essential train services.

The Jagdalpur-Delhi train, a vital link between these cities, currently bypasses Jeypore, forcing our residents to travel to distant stations like Jagdalpur or Visakhapatnam just to access the train. This is not only inconvenient but also unfair to the thousands of people who depend on rail travel as their primary means of transport.

Statistically, the number of passengers traveling from this region to Delhi has significantly increased over the years. According to recent data, there has been a 30% rise in travel demand from Jeypore and surrounding areas. Without proper train stoppages, people are left with no choice but to undertake long and arduous journeys just to board a train.

Adding a stoppage at Jeypore for the Jagdalpur–Delhi train would not only address these travel challenges but also boost the local economy. It would make travel to Delhi accessible for students seeking higher education, workers striving for job opportunities, and patients in need of specialized medical care in the capital city.

We urge the Indian Railways and relevant authorities to recognize Jeypore's need for improved train connectivity. A simple addition of a stoppage here can transform the travel and economic landscape of our region, ensuring fair and equitable access to the country's capital for everyone in Jeypore.

We request your support in making this change possible. Sign this petition to demand the necessary stoppage at Jeypore Railway Station and help us bring fair connectivity to our beloved region in South Odisha.
