The overall plan, which is being developed by the Bhubaneswar Development Authority (BDA), will improve recreational facilities and entertainment for visitors.

Secretary 5T directed officials to expedite progress on road, water, and electricity infrastructure, as well as other related development projects. He also directed BDA officials to use feedback from landowners to ensure the project’s success.
