Patnaik writes to Goyal, proposes MoU signing at Bhubaneswar

Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik has written to Railway Minister Piyush Goyal to organise the MoU signing ceremony for upgrading the Bhubaneswar station in the state capital, instead of New Delhi.

In an earlier communication, Goyal had invited Patnaik to attend the signing ceremony for upgrading facilities at Bhubaneswar Railway Station, at Rail Bhawan in New Delhi on May 23.

Patnaik, in a letter to Goyal yesterday, said, "As the project is of immense importance... for which the state government is committed to fully bear the expenses for development of a modern and world class station, I would, therefore propose that the MoU may be signed at Bhubaneswar on a mutually convenient date."
