Chief Minister Raghubar Das today said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has fulfilled his promise made to the people of Jharkhand. He said that the Prime Minister's visit to Palamu on January 5 will prove to be a milestone for the development of Jharkhand. The PM will lay the foundation stone of Mandal Dam, which will be constructed at a cost of Rs 2500 crore in Palamu district of the State, he added.
Addressing media persons here on Wednesday, the CM said that the work of Mandal Dam was halted since 1972. “The foundation stone of the Mandal Dam will be laid on January 5, 2019 by mutual coordination with the State Government and the Central Government. With the construction of Mandal Dam, farmers of Palamu and Garhwa will get direct benefits,” he said.
Notably, the CM informed that the PM will lay the foundation stone of the plan to provide Irrigation and drinking water from the Sone river in Palamu and Garhwa at the cost of 1138 crore. “Under this scheme, underground pipeline will be laid, which will not require land acquisition.

The CM, on the occasion, also flayed the Congress party for allegedly trying to trap BJP leaders, including then CM of Gujarat Narendra Modi and former Home Minister of Gujarat Amit Shah in the Sohrabuddin ‘fake’ encounter case.
