Railway sanctions FLS for Jajpur-Dhamra Port line
The Union government has sanctioned a Final Location Survey (FLS) for the construction of a new railway line between Jajpur Road-Keonjhar and Dhamra via Jajpur and Aradi. An amount of Rs 2.4 crore has been allocated for the survey of 96 km railway line, which will not just facilitate connectivity but also play a pivotal role in promoting tourism in the region. The railway line will connect important religious and tourist destinations in Jajpur, Bhadrak and Kendrapara districts. This new line will also serve as an alternative route connecting various industrial units of Kalinga Nagar to Dhamra port, without touching the Trunk route.
