BHUBANESWAR: As several railway lines in the State are yet to be electrified, Union Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw has sought Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik’s intervention for early completion of transmission lines. Vaishnaw has urged the Chief Minister to issue necessary instructions to officials concerned so that appropriate steps can be taken for clearing bottlenecks with respect to five projects.
The electrification of Naupada-Gunupur, Lanjigarh-Junagarh, Khurda Road-Nuagaon, Tatanagar-Badampahar and Rupsa-Bangriposi has been stuck due to delay in completion of transmission line works.
