Short shrift to Gopalpur-Rayagada railway project Post News Network
Berhampur: The railways ministry has given a short shrift to south Odisha as the ambitious Gopalpur-Rayagada railway project has been confined to survey only. Another project like a rail wagon factory at Sitalapalli has been shifted by the NDA government elsewhere, a report said.
According to the report, 12 years have passed since the survey for the Gopalpur-Rayagada railway project was conducted. The project has been stuck in a stalemate.
Similarly, another project passenger halt station in Berhampur has been neglected. Various quarters alleged that MLAs and MPs in south Odisha have failed to pressurise the central government to work on these projects.
