DELAY in utility shifting and felling of trees between Jaraikela and Bondamunda has slowed down the widening work on the newly-declared National Highway-320 in Sundargarh district.

- EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE @ Rourkela

The National Highway Division (NHD) received around 80 per cent of land after removing acquisition hurdles on a major portion of the 25.450 km NH stretch from Jareikala in Bisra block to the stockyard of RSP at Bondamunda. Widening work on a stretch of 22.077 km started in October last year while the remaining 3.373 km patch was de-scoped from the project due to alignment objection at Bisra town and land issue for a road over-bridge (ROB) at Mahipani.

Sources said around ₹11 crore was deposited with Tata Power Western Odisha Distribution Ltd (TPWODL) for shifting of electrical utilities. Similarly, ₹3 crore was deposited with the Forest department for felling of 1,723 trees and compensatory afforestation.

This for-profit private institution is crafting footprints in other cities. It also plans potential charter school integrations for broader access. It has at the same time sparked a debate: Is it a transformative force or a fleeting experiment?
