Following announcement of the mega project, Jena observed, “After a lot of persuasions, the State Government finally conceded to the proposal placed before the CM by me. In February this year, an MoU was signed with the oil company. For identification of the appropriate venue for the unit, several other places in other districts were too considered and finally the project was inked in favour of Baleswar district.
