Dhenkanal: Bhushan Steel Limited (BSL), a group company of Tata Steel,
will construct a seven-km-long cement concrete road connecting NH-55

Singhal laid the foundation stone for the road on Friday at Sarpa village, adjacent to the plant. Commending Bhushan Steel for the initiative, Nayak said this all-weather road was a long pending demand and it will be a boon for the local villagers to reach NH-55, particularly during the rainy season. Speaking on the occasion, Singhal expressed his gratitude to the community and local administration for their whole-hearted support to the plant and reaffirmed the company’s commitment for many such pro-people CSR projects for the overall growth of the region. The
company has engaged a professional agency to assess the needs of the

villages for developing a comprehensive socio-economic intervention
plan, he added.

To be built at a cost of Rs 6.11 crore, linking NH-55 to Sarpa village, the road will also have a one km long drain along its side as per the requirement.
Around 7,000 villagers from eight villages around the plant including Talabahal, Gantigadia, Sarpa, Raghunathpur, Badibahal, Khaliberena,
Kankalu and Paikapurunakote will benefit from it.
Hindol Sub Collector Bhabesh Nayak, BSL Chief Operating Officer Subodh Pandey, BSL Corporate Services Chief Manikanta Naik, local PRI members and villagers were present on the occasion.
