Bhubaneswar: In a landmark move to fortify railway infrastructure and enhance connectivity across Odisha, the Prime Minister Narendra Modi will gift three railway projects worth more than Rs 1,700 crore. These initiatives aim to elevate passenger convenience, boost freight transportation, and unlock fresh avenues for economic development throughout the state.

During the event, the Prime Minister will lay the foundation stone for the rail flyover between Sambalpur City and Sarla (Rs 273 crore). It designed to resolve a longstanding bottleneck at Sarla station, this flyover will ensure smooth and uninterrupted rail traffic on the heavily congested Sambalpur–Jharsuguda section—a critical corridor for coal, minerals, and industrial freight. This project will benefit the people of Sambalpur.
