riteshexpert | RDC reviews progress of rail projects on 15 August, 2013 - 08:58 PM | |
The revenue divisional commissioner (RDC) of central range Dr. Arvinda Padhee on Wednesday reviewed the progress made on construction of two important rail links in the State which were pending completion since long. The RDC, in the presence of several government and railway officials, took stock of the Haridaspur-Paradeep and Angul-Duburi-Sukinda rail links as the Railways have often attributed land acquisition as the main stumbling block for delay in completion of these projects.While the Rs. 594.34 crore 82-km Haridaspur-Paradeep project was conceived in 2006 has made very little progress in land acquisition, the 90 km Angul-Sukinda project is the worst performer as the Rs. 417.47 crore-project conceived way back in 1998-99 is yet to see the light of the day.In today’s meeting however, the sources informed that land acquisition for the Haridaspur project is nearing completion while the survey work has begun for the Angul project. |
