Fire safety drill at DRM office

As the long weekend leading to Republic Day celebrations approaches, holidaymakers in West Bengal are busy planning a trip to their favourite beach destination – Puri.
The temple town located in Odisha on the eastern coast of India is one of the most-visited places during the holiday season, frequented mostly by people from nearby West Bengal who come in droves drawn to the pristine beaches washed by the waves of Bay of Bengal.
The Eastern Railway has therefore introduced a series of special trains to meet the requirements of the tourists eager to visit Puri from Kolkata.

A pair of special trains will be run between Kolkata and Puri carrying tourists from the capital city of West Bengal to the ancient city in neighbouring Odisha, which is one of the most important pilgrimage destinations for Hindu devotees who come in millions to the historic Lord Jagannath temple throughout the year.
The 03101 Kolkata-Puri superfast special will leave Kolkata at 11.50 pm on three days – 18, 22, 25 January – to reach Puri at 9.35 am the next day.
On the other hand, the 03102 Puri-Kolkata superfast special will leave Puri at 2 pm on 19 and 26 January to reach Kolkata at 11.30 pm the same day.
The train will have general second class, sleeper class and air-conditioned accommodation so as to meet the requirements of the passengers.
