The delay impacted hundreds of travellers, prompting ECoR to issue a public advisory urging passengers to adjust their plans and check for real-time updates via the official railway website or local stations.

Railway officials assured that necessary arrangements are being made to minimise inconvenience and accommodate affected passengers.

This incident highlights the cascading effects of link train delays on long-distance services, especially in high-traffic corridors like Bhubaneswar to Rourkela.
