BHUBANESWAR: As stated by an official, Odisha government was analyzing the possibility of propelling a luxury train service on hold of the “Palace on Wheels’’. Regarding this, the Odisha chief secretary A P Padhi has discussed with the additional member of Railways (Tourism and Catering), Sanjiv Garg , the authority said. As reported by Mr. padhi a few states in the country have just begun working such luxury trains and the railways held converses with the state government to present luxury trains on lines with the “Palace on Wheels”.
