On Thursday, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari embarked on a campaign for BJP candidates in the Puri Lok Sabha and Brahmagiri Assembly segments in Bhubaneswar. During his visit, he unveiled plans for significant infrastructural developments in Odisha, much to the excitement of the local residents.
One of the major announcements made by Gadkari was the decision to establish an airport in Paradip with an investment of Rs 200 crore. This move is expected to bring in new opportunities for the locals and boost the economy of the region. He also revealed his plans to begin work on the 111-km 6-lane Bhubaneswar ring road, which is estimated to cost Rs 6,500 crore, in October.
Speaking at an election meeting in Krushnaprasad, Gadkari assured the crowd that a road from Tangi to Digha will also be constructed. He highlighted the challenges faced by the people of Gopalpur and Satpada due to the absence of a proper road link. In order to address this issue, a road will be constructed between NH-516 A and NH-316 A. The authorities have been instructed to prepare a Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the same.
While addressing the audience, the Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways also urged them to show their support for BJP candidates Sambit Patra for Puri Lok Sabha seat and Upasana Mohapatra for Brahmagiri Assembly segment by casting their votes in their favor. He emphasized the importance of the coastline in Odisha and promised projects to boost fishery production, giving the local fishermen a chance to earn in dollars.
Gadkari also stressed the significance of the Bhubaneswar Ring Road in reducing the commute time for residents of Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, and Khurda. He also shared his plans to commence construction on the proposed 35-km four-lane Greenfield ring road in Sambalpur, which is estimated to cost Rs 1,333 crore, in October. This move aims to alleviate traffic congestion between Rourkela and Cuttack.
Before attending the election meeting, Gadkari paid a visit to the renowned Shree Jagannath Temple and offered prayers. His visit was met with enthusiasm and optimism by the locals, who are eagerly looking forward to the promised developments in their region.
