Balangir Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) Sameer Satpathy inaugurated a five-day Kalinga Regional Herbal Fair at the Kosal Kalamandal field on Saturday evening.
Jointly organised by State Medicinal Plant Board and the Balangir Forest Division, the herbal fair has 50 stalls. Baidyas (traditional physicians) from all over the State are attending the fair. After a gap of nine years, such a herbal fair is being held here where Baidyas of Balangir and other districts are displaying medicines prepared by them which would provide benefit to common people, said DFO Satpathy while speaking to the media after inaugurating the fair.
