Bhubaneswar Mayor Sulochana Das strongly opposed halting the Metro Rail project, insisting that the public will must guide government decisions.
Mayor’s Stand
Das said the government should not cancel the Metro project because it represents the aspirations of the people. She stressed that in a democracy, nothing outweighs public desire. She added that certain projects should not be judged solely on profit or loss.
Public Interest First
According to Das, the Metro project would ease Bhubaneswar’s growing traffic problems and support urban development. She reiterated that the government’s primary duty is to fulfil the wishes of citizens.
Ongoing Debate
The Metro project has sparked heated discussions across Odisha. While some question its financial viability, Das continues to defend it as a necessity for the capital city. Her repeated statements underline her commitment to ensuring the project moves forward.
Future Outlook
The debate over the Bhubaneswar Metro Rail project remains unresolved. Citizens and leaders await the government’s final decision, which will weigh financial feasibility against public interest.
