Following are some excerpts from that article.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Naraj Station lies across Kathjodi river about 1 km away from the  bridge. It is about 2 kms from the proposed 2nd campus of Ravenshaw  university, 3-4 km from Bidanasi-CDA and within 1 km from the proposed  Sri Sri University.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Several trains in the BBS (Bhubaneswar)-SBP (Sambalpur) line such as <a href=\"http:\/\/erail.in\/?T=BBS:Bhubaneswar:DNKL:Dhenkanal\" target=\"_self\">2893  (BBS-BLGR superfast), 8304 (Puri-SBP Intercity), 8405 (Puri-ADI), 8507  (VSK-ASR)<\/a> skip Cuttack and go via Naraj without stopping there. By  developing the Naraj station a bit more, developing the road between the  station and the bridge, and introducing stops at Naraj station people  in Cuttack will be able to easily access these trains.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230; Naraj is really very close to Cuttack; much close to Cuttack than Barang  or the proposed station between Barang and Patia. Also, Naraj station  is much closer to the newer parts of Cuttack (such as CDA and Bidanasi)  than the Cuttack station. Also, a lot of development is planned near  Naraj that includes the Sri Sri University, National Law University and  2nd campus of Ravenshaw University. &#8230;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>There were some concerns regarding the overlap with the proposed New Barang station between Patia and Bhubaneswar. I think with the rate Cuttack-Bhubaneswar area is growing even if a major station in the form of a New Barang station comes up, it will be still a good idea to have a express stop station in Naraj.<\/p>\n<p>In the not too far future the greater Bhubaneswar area would need five stations: Khurda Rd, Bhubaneswar, New Barang, Cuttack and Naraj. The following map shows the five stations and the distance between them.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_self\" href=\"http:\/\/www.orissalinks.com\/orissagrowth\/wp-content\/uploads\/image\/bbs-ctc-khurda.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"515\" height=\"451\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.orissalinks.com\/orissagrowth\/wp-content\/uploads\/image\/bbs-ctc-khurda.JPG\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently unhappiness is brewing because of various trains bypassing Cuttack.
