The Odisha Government on Tuesday asked Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation (IDCO) to go ahead with land acquisition for the proposed Angul- Chhendipada-Talcher railway corridor in the coal belt.
The direction in this regard was given to the State-owned IDCO by the Chief Secretary, Mr B. K. Patnaik at a review meeting on the proposed railway corridor.
“The alignment of the corridor has been finalised and the preliminary project proposal prepared,” a senior official said. “About Rs 5,000 crore will be invested for development of the project excluding the land cost,” he said.
