Unexpected Troubles in Parking
Sambalpur: If you plan to park your vehicle at Sambalpur Khetrajpur Railway Station, be prepared for unexpected issues. The parking staff often argue with people using strange excuses, making parking a frustrating experience.
Misuse of Power by Parking Staff
The parking contract has been given to a private agency, and its staff behave rudely with travelers. They openly claim that since they have the tender, they can do whatever they want. They even threaten people by saying no one can challenge them. They tell vehicle owners that they must follow their rules or park elsewhere.

Frequent Complaints from the Public
Many people from Sambalpur who travel by train leave their vehicles at this parking lot. However, due to the staff’s misbehavior, many now hesitate to park here. Complaints suggest that the local youths managing the parking facility treat people poorly and charge extra fees without reason. Some travelers have even faced verbal abuse when trying to question their unfair practices.
Past Issues with Parking Contracts
This is not a new problem. In the past, another agency faced legal action after overcharging customers and mistreating them. Their contract was later revoked. However, it is concerning that the railway department continues to assign the contract to agencies that mistreat the public.
Urgent Need for Action
The people of Sambalpur demand strict action from the railway department. If the authorities do not take steps to resolve this issue soon, locals may strongly protest against the mismanagement of the parking facility.
