Bargarh-Nuapada line to be developed as a special project by Rlys
The New Indian Express Sambalpur
|January 03, 2025
THE Ministry of Railways has decided to develop the much-awaited Bargarh Road-Nuapada Road new railway line via Padampur as a special project.
The 138.32 km project was a major poll issue during the Padampur by-election in 2022 with BJD and BJP accusing each other for the delay. The railway line would reduce the distance between Sambalpur and Raipur by 87 km.
Sources said the state government has already initiated the process for acquisition of land in both Bargarh and Nuapada districts. Around 924.64 hectare of land required for the project comprises 752.52 ha private, 123.23 ha government and 48.91 ha forest.
