Initiatives are being taken to revive the Raigarh-based jute mill in Chhattisgarh so that supply of gunny sacks is not affected in future, Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel said on Sunday.
He was addressing the ‘Bade Bhajan Mela’ organized by the Akhil Bharatiya Ramnami Mahasabha in village Nandeli in Sarangarh block in Raigarh district.
Baghel also announced construction of a 50-bed hospital at Sarangarh, upgrading Kosir to Sub-Tehsil and construction of water reservoir at Bhadisar, an official communication said.
Addressing the gathering, he said till date 86 lakh tonnes of paddy have been procured. The supply of gunny sacks for the procurement was affected due to Covid. The jute mill, if revived, will generate employment too.
Going by the teachings of Sant Kabir, he said members of the Ramnami Samaj instead of searching God here and there etch the name of Lord Ram on their body and even wear clothes with the Lord's name. And they meditate too.
