Wi-fi facility inaugurated at Cuttack

CUTTACK: Chairman of Railway Board K C Jena on Sunday inaugurated the wi-fi facility at the railway station here to enable passengers pursue their professional and personal activities even during travel.

Any passenger could access the internet at the station with the help of a wi-fi enabled laptop and use credit card of any bank for online booking, he said.

Jena said the facility, introduced for the first time in the East-Coast Railway division, would help the bonafide passengers to enjoy wireless broadband access, access to reservation system, check e-mail and surf net at platforms while travelling.

The facility, provided by M/s Railtel, was currently available in 53 stations across the country.

In the near future, Bhubaneswar, Puri and Visakhapatnam stations would get the facility, railway sources said.

Jena inspected and reviewed the work of the second railway bridge over river Mahanadi which was likely to be commissioned soon.

As soon as the bridges over river Kathjodi and Kuakhai were completed, the double track between Cuttack and Bhubaneswar would be operational, he said.
