The Odisha government on Friday approved a new public transport network programme which would establish connectivity between gram panchayats and capital city.
The State Cabinet chaired by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik approved the Scheme titled ‘Location Accessible Multi-modal Initiative’ (LAccMI) to establish a seamless public transport network across the State from GP level to the State Capital.
“The project cost is estimated to be approximately Rs.3,178 crore in the first three years of bus operation from 2023-24 to 2025-26. Buses will connect all gram panchayats, block headquarters, district headquarters, major cities and economic hubs across the State,” said the State government in a statement.
