Rayagada, Dec, 27: The ring road of Rayagada town will be fully constructed. For this purpose, the Detailed Project Report (DPR) has been prepared by the Works Department and has also received approval. The ring road, which currently starts near the Majhighariani Temple and extends up to Maharshi Vidya Mandir, will now be further extended from Maharshi Vidya Mandir up to FCI Square, informed Works Department Superintending Engineer Amikeya Mishra.
The Revenue Department has already completed land measurements from near Maharshi Vidya Mandir up to Sai International Square. As per the plan, the ring road will be constructed with a width of 7 meters, along with drains on both sides.
Once constructed, the ring road will facilitate smooth movement of two-wheelers and four-wheelers. As a result, it is expected to help reduce accidents on National Highway No. 326 that passes through the town, thereby enhancing public safety, according to intellectuals.
The road is also expected to be highly beneficial for devotees coming by train from neighboring Andhra Pradesh to visit the Majhighariani Temple. The ring road will pass via Maharshi Vidya Mandir, Kasturinagar near the Dadhubaman Temple, and merge with the national highway at Sanal Square near Sai International. From there, people will be able to travel via Barijhola and directly exit at Sirikana on the Koraput Road, said Engineer Mishra.
According to information received from the Revenue Department, land acquisition from several landowners will be required before construction begins. Once completed, the entire ring road project—estimated to cost around ₹6 crore—will significantly benefit the residents of Rayagada town, intellectuals have opined.
