Kumari, and Pawan Kandhve. A memorandum was submitted to the station manager addressed to the DRM outlining the demands. Prof. Kumari stated that Pachamba is an old city with a dense population and numerous surrounding villages. While the Intercity Express passes through Salaiya Station, it does not stop, depriving thousands of people from its benefits.

The protesters warned of a larger movement if their demands were not met. The protest was attended by several prominent BJP leaders including Vinay Kumar Singh, Tulsi Rana, Shyam Sunder Ram, Samir Deep, Amit Arya, Suresh Gupta, Shubhdeep, Sanjay Sahu, Rajesh Rajak, Kishori Sahu, Rajesh Bhavani, Gautam Soni, Mohan Tiwari, Bajrang Rana, Thakur Ravidas, Mahendra Ram Gaurav, Balram Ram, Nageshwar Ram, Narayan Sinha, Akhilesh Tiwari, and Manohar Ram.

The demand has been welcomed by residents of Pachamba and surrounding areas, who hope that the minister's assurance of the stop's implementation will benefit them, especially residents of villages in the Gandiy area, Maheshmunda, and those in Pachamba. The stop is seen as beneficial to the city's residents, as the New Giridih station is located further away, and especially for those in surrounding villages, for whom accessing it in the evening can be difficult.
