Iconic building Bhubaneswar railway station soon
Odisha government and the East Coast Railway (ECoR) are soon going to sign a MoU to redesign and redevelop Bhubaneswar railway station. Under the multimodal hub project for railway station and its vicinity, an iconic seven-storeyed building at the entrance of the station is the major part. Apart from it, it includes modern amenities, commercial complexes, parking, rainwater harvesting system, firefighting facility with pump rooms, well maintained internal roads and attractive green landscape. The project being a part of Smart City Mission is going to be supervised by the Bhubaneswar Development Authority (BDA).In addition to the allocated budget an additional Rs 60 crore may be spent on the project. Brijmohan Agarwal, divisional railway manager (DRM), Khurda Road said, "It is a joint project of the Railways and the state government. The multi-storeyed building will be used by both the government agencies. We will use some floors for operational purpose and the state will take the rest for their use. But the state government will develop the building." The BDA will get the design done through a noted agency which will be chosen by the tendering process.
