Peanuts allocated for Odisha
Bhubaneswar: The Centre has allocated an outlay of Rs 6,995.58 crore for the state in the Railway Budget for 2021-22, an official statement issued by the East Coast Railway (ECoR) Thursday said. The amount is against the state’s demand for Rs 7,200 crore.
While the Centre has claimed that the fresh allocation is about 60 per cent more than the previous 2020-21 fiscal’s Railway Budget outlay of Rs 5,759 crore, the state government as well as the Opposition parties here have described the amount as “peanuts”.
State Transport and Commerce Minister Padmanabh Behera, however, termed the allocation made for the railway sector in 2021-21 as “disappointing.” Expressing dismay over the Budget allocation, Biju Janta Dal (BJD) Rajya Sabha MP Amar Patnaik said that the Union government has not sanctioned fund for any new project.
