The construction work of the Lower Suktel Irrigation Project, which was started two months ago, is progressing peacefully although at a slow pace and it is likely to be completed by 2024 and supply of water would begin to Balangir people through pipeline next year.
This was informed to media here by Balangir MLA Narasingha Mishra after taking a review of the project work with the concerned officials at the Circuit House here on Thursday. “I have directed the officials to provide all the rehabilitation benefits of Government to the displaced people in one time so that they could vacate their places. The rehabilitation colony should be having all facilities, failing which people would be reluctant to leave their home land,” Mishra said.
He would very soon visit the project area to oversee the progress of the construction work, he said further.
