M’bhanj Sarpanch held taking bribe

| | BALANGIR | in Bhubaneswar

The Balangir Action Committee held a Rasta Roko on Tuesday night from 10 pm to 11pm pressing for early construction of a bypass road in Balangir.

Committee president Gopalji Panigrahi said, “Every day accidents are occurring on the main road. The traffic at night is also increasing. To ease the traffic congestion and for safety of the people, construction of a bypass road is necessary. But due to apathy of the authorities and the elected representatives, the road is yet to be built.”

 However, Balangir MP said there are consistent efforts to build a bypass road. "The matter is pending with the Government of India since December 2017. I have met the concerned Minister and Secretary repeatedly. They have assured me of sanctioning funds soon,” said Singh Deo.
