This comes in addition to the large consignment already forwarded on the Sadbhavna Express.

The fresh collection of relief materials -- drummed up by a number of the high-profile city-based Oriya officers, MP Jayaben Thakkar, the district and the police commissionerates -- is worth around Rs 6 lakhs, sources said. Most of the foodgrains, clothes, plastic sheets and medicines have come from the chemical and industrial giants located in and around the city and the general public.

A team of doctors from the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation will accompany the two parcel vans of the Express.

Vadodara Division Railway Manager K C Jena told Express Newsline that he would travel on the train to ensure there were no disruptions along the route, while Police Commissioner J Mahapatra said he was flying to Cuttack via Mumbai on Sunday night to organise a proper supply chain in the right areas.
