Several senior railway officials of South Eastern Railway s Chakradharpur division including the senior divisional commercial manager Manish Pathak rushed to the spot.

Leading the agitation, the president of the outfit, Laxman Malgandi said that Goelkera Railway Station assumes importance as several mail and express trains running in Howrah- Mumbai main trunk route passes through it.
