Speaker Surjya Narayan Patro on Wednesday directed the Energy Department to repair the electrical infrastructures damaged due to untimely rains in the State in August 2019 and on February 25 (Tuesday) and submit a report in the Assembly after its vacation.
The Speaker ruled this after Congress Legislature Leader Narasingha Mishra and Leader of Opposition (BJP) Pradipta Kumar Naik alleged that the State Government is yet to undertake restoration and rehabilitation works in Balangir, Bhawanipatna and other parts of the State where electrical and road infrastructures and houses were damaged due to rains in August 2019. They too informed that such infrastructures were damaged due to untimely rains this Tuesday.
They demanded that the Government repair and restoration works at the earliest.
