The Indian Railways continues its major infrastructure expansion in Odisha with the ongoing construction of a 138.32 KM long new railway line connecting Bargarh Road to Nuapada Road.
This strategic project is set to improve connectivity, boost regional development, generate employment and offer significant benefits to both passenger and freight transportation in the region, stated a release of the railways here.
The Railway Board sanctioned the project on 10 September last year at a total cost of Rs. 2621.92 crore. The state government has extended its support by providing land free of cost and offering a grant of Rs. 300 crore for the project.
The project necessitates the acquisition of 924.64 hectares of land, amounting to approximately Rs. 364 crore. The land to be acquired includes 752.524 hectares of private land, 123.233 hectares of government land and 48.913 hectares of forest land. The acquisition process is progressing smoothly.
