The train will run as 20817/20818 Bhubaneswar-New Delhi-Bhubaneswar Rajdhani Express via Sambalpur City and Jharsuguda with effect from February 10, 2018.

A loco pilot died after he was run over by August Kranti Rajdhani Express at Boisar on Sunday night. According to sources, the Umesh Chandra R, whose Saurashtra Jamnagar Express was made to wait at platform number one of the station for the Rajdhani to pass around 7:30 pm, had stepped out of the engine and was allegedly standing in the space between the tracks.

They feel he may have been pulled in due to the vacuum created by the fast moving train. The victim was rushed to the Tarapur PHC but was declared dead before admission. Police have filed an accidental death report.
