The Central Government has decided to set up a Government medical college in Balangir and the State Government has also given its consent for this.
The college would be established at the same place where initial construction work for a medical college was undertaken earlier and the district administration has indentified 25 acres of land for the purpose.
This was informed at a news conference here by senior Congress leader Narasingha Mishra on Friday. The Centre would bear 75 per cent of the total cost of the project and the State Government would bear the rest 25 per cent besides providing 25 acres of land, he said.
On the public distribution system (PDS) in Balangir district, Mishra said it is in a disarray, and whenever any irregularities in PDS is reported, the administration is not taking steps to punish the culprit.
Mishra said that even though the Centre is providing 35 kg of rice to all APL and BPL people in the KBK region and 35 kg to BPL people in other parts of the State, people are getting only 25 kg of rice.
Protesting against the irregularities a public interest litigation (PIL) petition would be filed in the Odisha High Court demanding payment of the total cost of rice of the beneficiaries that has been siphoned in last 11 years.
Besides, the PIL would urge for steps to ensure supply of 35 kg of rice to all the beneficiaries. Those who are responsible for the deduction of 10 kg of rice action would be taken against them.
An FIR would also be filed against the Chief Minister, Civil Supplies Minister, Civil Supplies Secretary and district-level Civil Supplies officials for this gross irregularity in supply of rice, Mishra said further.
 On this occasion, president of Balangir Zila Adivasi Kalyan Sangh Braja Kishore Singhbhoi joined in the Congress party.
