Cable Landing Station: In a major push to position Odisha as a global digital hub, the state government’s Electronics and IT Department has launched plans to establish a Cable Landing Station (CLS) in Puri. The move is seen as a strategic step towards enhancing the state’s digital ecosystem and attracting major technology investments. Earlier on Wednesday, Chief Secretary Manoj Ahuja reviewed the progress of the Detailed Project Report (DPR), which is being jointly prepared by RailTel and Deloitte. The proposed CLS is expected to significantly strengthen Odisha’s digital backbone, enabling faster data connectivity and opening up avenues for world-class data centres and IT infrastructure.
