Bhubaneswar: Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik has laid foundation stone for seven projects worth about Rs 500 crore for the heritage and infrastructure development of the pilgrim town of Puri.

The projects, aimed at beautifying Puri, will be implemented under the state governments Augmentation of Basic Amenities and Development of Heritage and Architecture (ABADHA) scheme, officials said.

After visiting Shree Jagannath Temple in Puri on Thursday, the chief minister reviewed the heritage corridor project around the temple.

The Shree Setu project is a 2.3 km link that will connect NH-316 with Grand Road, in front of the temple, through a trumpet bridge.

The project, to be constructed at an estimated expenditure of Rs 181 crore, will facilitate linking the Jagannath Ballav Pilgrim Centre (JBPC) with the national highway.

The JBPC, to be built at Jagannath Ballav Math in Puri town with an investment of Rs 100 crore, will have multi-level parking for 1,000 cars, commercial space, a meditation centre and multi-modal hub.

A multi-level parking for 500 cars, 500 two-wheelers and 350 vending outlets will come up at Old Jail Complex at a cost of Rs 90.22 crore.

The foundation stone for renovation of municipal market complex into a modern market complex along the Grand Road was also laid by Patnaik.
