Rs 19,000 crore plan to build disaster-resilient power infra in nine districts in Odisha

BHUBANESWAR: As successive tropical cyclones, including Fani and Amphan, exposed the chinks in the weak power structure, the State Government has decided to build a disaster-resilient power infrastructure in nine coastal districts.

The Government is planning to develop a calamity-proof power network in the coastal districts, prone to summer cyclones, in phases with an estimated cost of around Rs 19,000 crore.
