The IAS-turned-politician said that the PM Modi-led union government has granted Rs 7,250 crore for the construction of the houses in the State under the housing scheme.  

The parliamentarian’s letter consists of 20-point suggestions which also include demands for Metro Train System covering Bhubaneswar-Jatni-Khordha-Cuttack-Choudwar.
