Bhubaneswar: The construction of the Inter-State Bus Terminal (ISBT) near Baramunda within the city will probably be accomplished by June 2022.
Officials told this to 5T Secretary VK Pandian throughout a review visit to the project site on Sunday morning.
The 5T Secretary stressed on maintaining the quality of works and completion within the deadline.
The Bhubaneswar Development Authority (BDA) is constructing the ISBT over 15.5 acres of land at a cost of Rs 180 crore. The bus depot at Khandagiri is also a part of the project with a parking capacity of 300 buses.
Pandian also inspected the construction of a parallel road to the Jayadev Vihar-Patia road taken up by the Public Works Department (PWD).
The 13.6-km-long parallel road will be built at an estimated cost of Rs 92 crore. The new road will substantially scale back the traffic load on Jayadev Vihar- Patia road. It will connect CRPF Sq. to the Institute of Mathematics in phases.
At present, 5.17 km of a six-lane road is being built to connect Xavier sq. to Infocity sq.. This project is expected to be completed by February 2022.
Pandian also went to Chandrasekharpur to review the affordable housing project taken up by the BDA. He instructed early allotment of the houses in order that the beneficiaries can monitor the progress and quality of the construction.
The project with 2,600 houses will come up over 20.21 acres. Of this, 6.5 acres of land is earmarked for development by a PPP partner. The colony will have community facilities like primary school, primary health centre, shopping area, play area, and many others. The project will be completed in two phases by September 2022.
The 5T secretary later visited the Incubation Tower near Infocity. The Tower is being constructed by IDCO at an estimated cost of Rs 221 crore. The project will comprise 13-floors with two basement floors. It would come up in two towers with built-up area of 3.36 lakh sq. ft. The project is scheduled to be accomplished by December 31.
Pandian discussed the project with IDCO officials and told them to finish it within the specified timeline.
BDA Vice-Chairman and BMC Commissioner Sanjay Kumar Singh, Secretary, Works Krishan Kumar, Special Secretary to Chief Minister R Vineel Krishna, Executive Director IDCO Bhupendra Singh Poonia and senior project officers accompanied the 5T secretary throughout the site visits.
