New Delhi, Feb 20: The Cabinet on Tuesday gave its approval for the 130 km long Jeypore-Malkangiri
new line project which will be completed at a cost of Rs 2,676 point 11 crore
and is likely to be completed by 2021-22.
The project will cover the districts of Koraput
and Malkangiri of Odisha, an official release said.
Malkangiri and Koraput districts are among the identified left wing extremism (LWE) affected districts in the country.
These areas are also amongst the 115 aspirational districts and Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also given a clarion call to develop these districts to help achieve the vision of New India by 2022.
The proposed new line will connect Malkangiri, Boipariguda, Tanginiguda, Mathili, Pondripani Road and other major towns to Jeypore station on the existing Kottavalasa-Kirandul line.
Further, connectivity to important towns such as Koraput, Jeypore, Jagdalpur, Dantewara will improve. It will also result in short lead to many other places of Odisha, Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh.
At present Malkangiri has no connectivity with Railways and the new line will provide basic infrastructure support for overall development including industrial development of the area having large socio-economic ramifications.
Besides, this project will generate direct employment during construction of about 31.2 lakh mandays. UNI
