Cable Landing Station in Puri: How will it help people, and what is it?

Published on

Puri: The state government’s Electronics and IT Department has started planning to build a Cable Landing Station (CLS) in Puri as part of a significant effort to develop Odisha as a worldwide digital hub. The action is viewed as a calculated move to draw significant technology investments and improve the state’s digital ecosystem.

Chief Secretary Manoj Ahuja examined the status of the Detailed Project Report (DPR), which RailTel and Deloitte are working on together, earlier on Wednesday. It is anticipated that the proposed CLS will greatly fortify Odisha’s digital backbone, facilitating quicker data connectivity and creating opportunities for top-notch data centers and IT infrastructure.

According to an official announcement, the initiative is expected to spur large-scale investment, create job opportunities, and attract top-tier technology businesses to the region. Ahuja emphasized the need of collaborating with hyperscalers and other participants in the digital ecosystem to ensure the project’s long-term viability and holistic implementation. He also directed officials to speed up the finalisation and submission of the DPR, with a significant emphasis on completing the ambitious project within a three-year timeframe.
