This year, development works of roads and coastal areas worth Rs 23,000 in Odisha will be completed. Samal said there was unprecedented progress in the area of road building in Odisha.

But today we not only crossed the national average, but moved to 10,000 km of the road construction. He emphasized the importance of infrastructure and said that the development of any state is not possible until the infrastructure is strong. Samal appreciated the central government schemes, saying that programs such as Bharatmala Project, National Highway and Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana revolutionary changes in strengthening infrastructure across the country. He informed that the National Highway scheme, which started at a cost of Rs 54,000 crore, has now reached Rs 11 Lakh Crore, and the investment of Rs 21 Lakh Crore is added. Samal said: “This is a major change for India. Our infrastructure gives us the power to create the world’s third largest economic power by 2030. The extensive projects in Odisha, such as highways and coastal development, will take the state to new developmental heights.” Please tell that Union Road Transport and Minister of Highways, Nitin Gadkari, is on a tour to Odisha on April 17.
