PM Modi to inaugurate railway projects worth Rs 80 billion in Odisha

Prime Minister Narendra Modi through videoconferencing, laid the foundation stone and inaugurated numerous railway projects valued at over Rs 80 billion in the state. Among these initiatives is the commencement of the Vande Bharat Express train, which will operate between Puri and Howrah. This semi-high-speed train aims to enhance travel experiences by offering faster, more comfortable, and convenient journeys for passengers. Additionally, it is expected to stimulate tourism and contribute to the economic growth of the region.

Furthermore, Modi will initiate the development projects for railway stations in Puri and Cuttack, ensuring that these stations possess modern amenities upon completion. He will also mark the accomplishment of 100 percent electrification of Odisha's rail network.

In addition to these milestones, the Prime Minister will inaugurate the doubling of the Sambalpur-Titlagarh rail line, the establishment of a new broad gauge rail line connecting Angul and Sukinda, the introduction of a third line connecting Manoharpur, Rourkela, Jharsuguda, and Jamga, and the establishment of a new broad-gauge line between Bichhupali and Jhartarbha.

These projects are designed to address the escalating traffic demands resulting from rapid industrial development in the steel, power, and mining sectors in Odisha. They will also alleviate the strain on passenger traffic in these particular rail sections.
