Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday unveiled 73 railway infrastructure projects worth Rs 2,320 crore in Odisha, and said that the redeveloped Baleswar station has been designed on the theme of Jagannath Temple.
Twenty-one railway stations in the state will be redeveloped under the 'Amrit Bharat Station Scheme' at the cost of Rs 900 crore, and 52 road over bridges and road under bridges will be built at Rs 1,420 crore.
