Kotpad 30th January 2025 Cuttack city is set to expand further, with the Cuttack Development Authority (CDA) boundaries merging with 102 villages. These villages, located between Bhubaneswar and Cuttack, have been proposed for inclusion under CDA. The proposal has already been submitted to the state government. Villages from the Banki and Cuttack Sadar constituencies will now become part of the city. Previously, 287 villages had already been integrated into the city limits. Now, with this expansion, the Bhubaneswar Development Authority (BDA) and CDA boundaries will become one, as confirmed by CDA Vice-Chairman Anam Charan Patra.
CDA Expansion Plan
A total of 102 villages from five tehsils—Kantapada, Damapada, Athagarh, Salepur, and Nischintakoili—will be merged into CDA. This expansion will significantly increase CDA’s jurisdiction, bringing uniformity to the development zones. Earlier, 287 villages were already included under CDA, and with this new integration, the total will rise further. The Authority meeting recently approved this proposal, according to Vice-Chairman Anam Charan Patra.
Regions to be Included in CDA
Vice-Chairman Anam Charan Patra stated, “A master plan has been prepared for the areas to be merged into CDA. This plan will determine how development projects will be carried out in these regions. There will no longer be any gap between CDA and BDA, as both development authorities will now have a unified boundary.”
A survey is currently underway to include some remaining villages from Bayalis Mouza and certain villages from Salepur tehsil under CDA. The integration process is ongoing, and the authorities are working to ensure seamless urban expansion.
