PM Modi In Odisha
On March 5, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will dedicate and lay the foundation stone for several development projects worth over Rs 19,600 crore in Chandikhole, Odisha, amid reports of a possible electoral coalition between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Biju Janata Dal (BJD).
PM Modi will lay foundation stones and inaugurate various projects in the oil and gas, railways, road, transport and highways, and atomic energy sectors.
His visit to Odisha coincides with the birth anniversary of former Chief Minister Biju Patnaik. It also comes amid the BJD's heightened demand that Biju Patnaik be awarded the Bharat Ratna.
After arriving in Odisha, the Prime Minister will launch the Indian Oil Corporation's mono ethylene glycol project at the Paradip Refinery, which will contribute to India's reduction in import reliance. Monoethyle glycol is used in the production of polyester resins, films, fibers, antifreezes, coolants, aviation anti-icing and deicing agents, and solvents.
He would also pull the curtain on a 344-kilometer-long product pipeline that runs from Paradip in Odisha to Haldia in West Bengal. Modi will also launch a 0.6 million metric tons per annum LPG import plant in Paradip, which will help to strengthen India's east coast import infrastructure.
The Prime Minister will also dedicate to the country four lanes of Singhara-Binjabahal Section of NH-49; four lanes of Binjabahal-Tileibani Section of NH-49; four lanes of Balasore-Jharpokharia Section of NH-18; and four lanes of Tangi-Bhubaneswar Section of NH-16.
He will also lay the groundwork for eight lanes on the Chandikhole-Paradip Section and dedicate the 162-kilometer Bansapani-Daitari-Tomka-Jakhapura rail line, which will not only increase the capacity of the existing traffic facility but also facilitate efficient transportation of iron and manganese ore from Keonjhar District to the nearest ports and steel plants.
Following the ceremonial events, PM Modi will address a public gathering in Chandikhol.
