Title : Need to release funds for the construction of flyovers on National Highways in Vani Vihar, CRP and Khandagiri crossings in Bhubaneswar, Orissa.
DR. PRASANNA KUMAR PATASANI (BHUBANESWAR): I would like to apprise the Government that Bhubneswar, Capital of Orissa is facing huge traffic congestion problem, and I understand that it can be resolved only by construction of flyovers on National Highways in BANI VIHAR, CRP, Khandagiri Crossings.
These are the most accident-prone areas. Though the projects have already been sanctioned but the work is yet to start. I have learnt that the NHAI has been sanctioned an additional sum of Rs. 2,500/- crores for improving the road conditions of the State Highways. I would, therefore, once again request the Government to allocate funds for the construction of these flyovers, which will ease traffic problem of the capital city.
