Bhubaneswar, Dec 6: President Droupadi Murmu will launch three important railway projects in Odisha tomorrow that will improve regional connectivity and support economic growth.
The projects include:
- Badampahar-Kendujhargarh line (82 km, ₹2,107 crore): This line will connect Keonjhar and Mayurbhanj, two major districts in Odisha.
- Bangiriposi-Gorumahisani line (86 km, ₹2,549 crore): This line will link Odisha with Jharkhand, improving interstate connectivity.
- Buramara-Chakulia line (60 km, ₹1,639 crore): This will connect Odisha with the Howrah-Mumbai main railway line, boosting transport options for the region.
These railway projects, approved by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, are expected to improve transportation, boost trade, and help in the overall economic development of Odisha.
The development of better transport links will make it easier to move goods and people across the state and beyond.
Along with these projects, President Murmu will also inaugurate other state development projects, including a new judicial court complex, a tribal research center, and a sub-divisional hospital.
While the railway projects will take a few years to complete, there could be challenges related to land acquisition and environmental factors. However, the projects are seen as a major step forward for Odisha's infrastructure and future growth.
