BHUBANESWAR: Bhubaneswar MP Aparajita Sarangi on Sunday laid foundation stone for three key road projects worth Rs 12 crore in Ekamra and Jatni Assembly segments.
The road projects will be taken up in Tikarpada-Itipur stretch of Ekamra Assembly constituency and Sarkantara-Botanda stretch of Jatni Assembly segment.
The MP laid foundation stone for a 5.3 km road from the Daya river embankment to Gangua canal embankment to be constructed at an estimated cost of `3.96 crore and a 4.7 km road from the Daya river embankment at Nishtharinanipur to Madhupur (Ranibandh) to be taken up at a cost of `3.33 crore.
