The East Coast Railway said on Saturday that the ongoing doubling work between Talcher Road and Angul on the Bhubaneswar/Cuttack-Angul-Sambalpur Railway Route would be finished as soon as possible.

This is a major project in Odisha for a crucial rail link, and once it is finished, the train traffic on the route would run smoothly. Roop Narayan Sunkar, the general manager, had ordered officials to finish this crucial project as soon as possible, and he constantly checked on the development in this area.

One of the most important and significant projects in Odisha is this infrastructure and traffic facility improvement. The general manager emphasised that effective planning, effective tendering, and oversight of work execution were crucial for this project's success. Furthermore, proper coordination has been emphasised.

In Odisha, this project is crucial. Once the project is finished, it will give the already congested Talcher Angul portion a crucial railway link. The General Manager of ECoR had earlier given the staff instructions to make sure that passengers are not inconvenienced in any way.
