BHUBANESWAR: The Bhubaneswar Development Authority (BDA) has decided to develop the 3 km stretch of storm water channel 10 including BDA City Centre (earlier Nicco Park) and Lake Zone near Janpath into an ultramodern public recreational space at a cost of Rs 200 crore.
BDA V-C N Thirumala Naik said the proposal has already received nod from the state government after CM Mohan Charan Majhi reviewed it last month. 'We will soon prepare the detailed project report and submit the cost estimate to the government for grant of funds,' Naik said. The BDA V-C said the project includes development of the area along natural drain no 10 in the stretch from BDA City Centre to the proposed Lake Zone on Janpath road.
As per the discussions in the meeting chaired by the CM, the BDA City Centre will undergo comprehensive makeover and be equipped with a wide range of modern amenities. These include improved lighting, beautification, herbal garden, Ayurvedic park, pathway, foot overbridges, fine-dining restaurants and hotels etc. The first phase of the project will focus on redevelopment of the city centre, a senior official said.
The project will also include restoration of the storm water channel near the Lake Neutral project of BSCL on Janpath Road near Satya Nagar which has been moving at a snail's pace since 2017. The project will include a waste water treatment plant, public realm with recreational space, plantation area and roadside gardens, he said.

Meanwhile, prices on the COMEX were hovering around $3,402.90 per troy ounce, down $14.40, or 0.42%.The dollar index (DXY) was trading above 98, up 0.13% against a basket of six major currencies. As the movement on DXY is typically inverse to the gold price , a 1% drop gave a fresh momentum to the and tariffs will continue to fuel the uptrend, according to Jateen Trivedi, Vice President - Commodity Research at LKP Securities , and gold's haven appeal will likely take a northward trajectory amid growing tensions between Israel and Iran. Moreover, the tariffs remain a big conundrum as we are weeks behind the July economic data from the US and India will remain the catalyst. The Street will be watching the developments around the Federal Reserve's FOMC meeting , which begins today. The Central Bank will announce its policy decisions on Wednesday.

The recent break above Rs 98,900–Rs 99,000 confirms bullish Levels:-- Rs 99,000 – prior resistance turned near-term support-- Rs 97,000 – secondary support aligning with the 21 EMA-- Rs 93,200 – long-term base, unlikely to be tested unless there's a steep correctionResistance Levels:-- Rs 1,01,300–Rs 1,01,500 – upper zone poised as target-- Rs 1,02,500 – near convergence of upper Bollinger band and historical highsA sustained run above Rs 1,01,500 could pave the way towards Rs 1,02,500+, while a dip below Rs 99,000 would signal short-term weakness.2) RSI (14) at 65.53 – bullish momentum with room to runRSI reads 65.5, comfortably below overbought territory, reflecting strong upward momentum but keeping further upside possible before fatigue sets in.3) Bollinger bands: Gold is riding near the upper Bollinger band, indicating a strong uptrend. With band width expanding, this suggests continuation of the bullish impulse rather than an imminent reversal.4. Moving averages: EMA 8 & EMA 21 show a steady bullish structure-- EMA 8 (red): Rs 99,500-- EMA 21 (yellow): Rs 98,600The price remains well above both EMAs, underscoring a solid upward trend. The current positioning reinforces a buy-on-dips bias.5) MACD: Although the MACD isn't displayed in the chart, prior readings indicated a strong bullish crossover. With the recent rally and rising momentum, the MACD remains firmly above the signal line, supporting further price the dips near Rs 99,000.
