The Odisha Development Forum (ODF) held a demonstration here demanding to open a stadium as well as an airport in Brahmapur at the earliest. The repairing work of the stadium is going on at present.
The renovation work of the stadium had begun in 2017 and it was then targeted to complete the work in three years. But though six years have gone by, the renovation work is still unfinished.
Similarly, the forum said the residents of Brahmapur had been assured of a full-fledged airport by March this year, besides flight operation between Brahmapur and Bhubaneswar. But the promise is yet to be fulfilled.
V Someswar Rao, Laxmi Narayan Padhi, Pritish Panigrahy, Manas Ranjan Patra and Prabin Pattanayak among others were present.
