Revenue Minister SN Patro on Friday said the Chief Minister is
sincerely interested in early completion of the Lower Suktel Irrigation Project
in Balangir.
“Chief
Minister Naveen Patnaik had invited the people opposing the project for
discussion to sort out the matter,” Patro told mediapersons here at the end of
a District Planning Committee meeting.
Out of the
total 29 villages in the project area, 16 are going to be submerged fully while
13 would be partially submerged, he said.
Asked on the
fraudulent transfer of farmers’ land to a company by dishonest teshil officials
in Patnagarh block, Patro said, “Guilty officers have been punished while some
cases are pending before the High Court.”
Parto
informed that a new amendment in the existing law is being drafted by the Law
Department to make encroachment of Government land a difficult and painstaking
one as at present the encroachers have to pay a meagre compensation for
encroachment, he added.
The Minister
also said a total of 52 new Revenue Inspector Circles would be opened in
Balangir district soon.
