Bhubaneswar: Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik has written a letter to Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari on Saturday. The letter is on Cuttack-Angul-Sambalpur National Highway 55.
It is worth mentioning that since 2017, this road work is being done by the National Highway Authority. Even after 5 years the work is still going on, said reports.
