Kagaznagar: The Kerala Superfast Express made a historic halt at Kagaznagar Railway Station on Sunday, stopping there for the first time at Platform No. 1, as Sirpur MLA Dr Palvai Harish Babu formally flagged off the train by waving the green signal. The event fulfilled a demand that residents of the Sirpur Assembly constituency have been advocating for more than three decades, bringing long awaited rail connectivity to the region.
