New Indian Express  

BHUBANESWAR: The much-awaited Bargarh-Nuapada new rail line via Padampur that led to a political slugfest between BJD and BJP during the 2022 by-election has finally got the nod of Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday. Railway minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said of the three railway projects worth Rs 6,456 crore cleared by the CCEA, two from Odisha will be developed at an estimated cost of Rs 4,286 crore. The project was, however, granted in-principle approval in December 2021 after the state government assured to give free land along with the funding support of Rs 300 crore. Odisha Rail Infrastructure Development Limited, a joint venture of the state government and the Ministry of Railways, was asked to prepare the detailed project report prior to the Padampur bypoll.
