Odisha Govt To Purchase Land Directly From People For Rail Overbridge At Rajgangpur

Bhubaneswar: Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik has decided to directly purchase land from the people for the construction of a rail overbridge at Rajgangpur in Odisha’s Sundargarh district, an official release read on Thursday.

This followed a visit by 5T Secretary VK Pandian’s visit to Sundargarh in March when he came to about the land acquisition problem for constructing a rail overbridge at Rajgangpur, while reviewing various development programmes in the district.

He then held discussions with the CM, who then decided that the state government would directly purchase the land, instead of acquiring those required for the ROB and speed up the construction work.

This rail overbridge will be constructed at Rajgangpur Mauza between Sonakhan and Kashanbahal stations.
