NITI Aayog to help Odisha prepare blueprint of metropolitan region

New Indian Express  

BHUBANESWAR: The NITI Aayog will help the state government prepare a blueprint of the metropolitan development region spanning the coastal belt of Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Paradip and Puri. Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi in the budget this year had announced plans for establishing the metropolitan development region covering 7,000 sq km and encompassing Bhubaneswar, Khurda, Jatni, Cuttack, Paradip and Puri to give a push to the state’s urban coverage which at present comprises just about 17 per cent. A five-member delegation of NITI Aayog headed by its principal economic advisor Anna Roy held meeting with the collectors and other officials of these districts earlier this week to discuss the proposed project in detail. The national public policy think tank has sought demographic data and project information from four districts - Khurda, Cuttack, Jagatsinghpur and Puri - at the earliest for going ahead with the blueprint work.
