CM Naveen Patnaik didn’t just cut ribbons; he virtually unleashed a wave of exciting new projects on Monday! Imagine, over Rs 640 crore was splashed out to make dreams a reality across four districts. And guess what? One of the highlights is Odisha’s longest 3 km-long flyover in Joda, Keonjhar district.
But wait, there’s more! The Chief Minister, like a magician pulling out tricks from his hat, also waved his wand over a range of other projects. Picture this: the majestic Harishankar temple in Balangir district got a makeover fit for the gods themselves. And not stopping there, a whopping 762-meter railway over bridge sprang up in Khurda’s Kudiari at a cost of Rs 105 crore.
Odisha’s longest fly over
And if that wasn’t enough, Naveen Patnaik, the man of the moment, inaugurated Odisha’s longest bridge spanning 3 km over the mighty Mahanadi, linking Athamallik to Dhalpur road at a cost of Rs 159.31 crore. Plus, there’s a brand new 600-meter-long bridge over the Tel river, constructed for Rs 45.84 crore. Talk about connecting people!
But let’s not forget the roads! The Boudh-Maryakud link road got a makeover worth Rs 71.59 crore. And that’s not all; there’s a whole list of projects that received the Chief Minister’s magical touch.
Patnaik, in his inspiring speech, highlighted how these projects are not just about brick and mortar but are vital for tourism and infrastructure. He emphasized the importance of preserving culture, calling it the soul of a nation.
And speaking of soulful places, the renovation of Achyutananda Das Peetha in Cuttack’s Nemalo and the Ugratara temple near Khurda is set to bring people closer to their roots, strengthening the emotional bonds within the community.
The Chief Minister proudly declared that these projects will touch the lives of lakhs of people, making communication the cornerstone of prosperity. The 5T initiative, he boasted, has sparked a revolution in infrastructure development across the state.
So, as we look ahead, let’s marvel at the incredible transformation these projects will bring to Odisha. From soaring bridges to sacred temples, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik has truly sprinkled a bit of magic across the land.
