Aerial survey has begun for the mega freight corridor proposed by the Union Ministry of Railways in Odisha, The New Indian Express reports.
The 1115 km corridor is set to connect Cuttack, Bhubaneshwar, Khurda, Ganjam, Bhadrak, Puri and Balasore.
Proposed in the 2019 Budget, the Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) will begin from Kharagpur in West Bengal and will conclude in Vijaywada in Andhra Pradesh.
The upcoming corridor would have no link with the existing railway line and will have separate tracks altogether.
The DFCC is likely to facilitate the movement of both passengers and goods between Kharagpur and Vijaywada.
Earlier this month, it had emerged that the DFCC will be using the light detection and ranging survey (LiDAR) technique to conduct the ground survey for the detailed project report (DPR) for the corridor.
Alignment or ground survey is considered to be vital for any linear infrastructure project as accurate details of the assessment are obtained through the same.
The reference points were already marked on the ground in order to ensure that the DPR is rounded up in a time-bound manner.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
