The Government is planning to make all the roads connecting
the proposed ring road in Berhampur city four-lane to facilitate faster
communication besides ensuring free flow of traffic soon.
The Nodal Officer of Ganjam district and Principal Secretary
of Agricultural Department Rajesh Verma disclosed this on Friday while
attending a review meeting at the Ganjam Collectorate at Chhatrapur. As per the
plan, all the proposed roads within a radius of 5 km are to be connected to the
ring road and would be made four lanes.
The meeting also decided to dig 2,000 tube-wells before the
summer season begins and complete the construction work of all the over-bridges
within the scheduled time.
The meeting reviewed the progress of the ongoing
construction of a 41-km-long road between Brahmapur and tourist destination
Taptapani.

Road, distribution of loan for Rabi crops to farmers, completion of restoration
of all cyclone-affected areas and issue of tender for all these works latest by February 15 came up for discussion.
