Bhubaneswar: MEMU rakes will replace passenger trains in three routes across coastal Odisha from Saturday onwards, an East Coast Railway (ECoR) official said.
The Mainline Electric Multiple Unit (MEMU) trains — that serve short and medium distances — will run between Cuttack and three routes to Puri, Bhadrak and Paradeep, an official of the railway zone said.
A MEMU train will commence its journey from Puri to Cuttack Saturday and return to the coastal town on Sunday.
