Railway Link Planned for Bhitarkanika National Park in Odisha

In a significant development, Odisha is set to enhance accessibility and conservation initiatives for the Bhitarkanika National Park by planning a dedicated railway link. The proposed railway connection aims to facilitate easier transportation to this ecologically rich region, fostering both tourism and preservation efforts.

The move reflects the state's commitment to balancing environmental conservation with strategic development, as the railway link is expected to streamline visitor access while minimising the ecological impact on the park. Bhitarkanika, known for its diverse flora and fauna, including the endangered saltwater crocodile, stands to benefit from improved infrastructure that supports responsible tourism and scientific research.

The envisioned railway link is poised to open up new avenues for the sustainable exploration of Bhitarkanika National Park, contributing to the region's economic growth while ensuring the protection of its unique biodiversity. This initiative aligns with Odisha's broader vision for responsible development and underscores the importance of infrastructure in promoting environmental stewardship.
