KEEPING in view the growing population of the state capital, Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Tuesday emphasised the need to improve its public transport system and traffic management services.

Majhi was chairing a high-level meeting at the Lok Seva Bhawan on the day during which the Public Works department and Housing and Urban Development (H&UD) department presented various road projects aimed at alleviating traffic congestion in Bhubaneswar.

The Works department gave an update on the new road connecting Jaydev Vihar to Nandankanan, a ring road from Patia railway station to National Highway-16 touching Daya west canal road, upgradation of Sundarpada-Jatni road, Pitapalli-Trisulia road, and the new road from Institute of Mathematics to Ekamra Kanan.
