Youth dies in B’ngir road mishap

===========================================================
A youth, Gopal Mishra, of Gandhinagar Pada was killedc after
being hit by a speeding truck near Mahadev Mandir Square here on Friday night
while he was returning home.
After the incident, irate locals held road blockades at several
places and set ablaze two trucks and damaged some other others trucks.
Police and Fire Services officials along with the Balangir
Sub-Collector reached the spots and held discussions with the agitating people,
following which the blockades were called off.
Notably, before 10 pm, many trucks wait outside the town because
of a no-entry rule and once they start plying, they move with great speed.
The present incident clearly shows the traffic congestion is
increasing in the town and construction of a Balangir bypass is very much necessary
to minimise the traffic rush and reduce accidents, said Balangir Action
Committee member Gopalji Panigrahi.
The committee has been demanding construction of a bypass since
2013 but to no avail, he added.
Notably, the Balangir bypass project has been held up as the
Central Government has asked for clarification from the State Government on the
inflated rates quoted for compensation for acquisition of land.

Governor Prof Ganesh Lal on Saturday inaugurated the centenary
celebrations of the Prithiraj Goshala in Balangir.
The Prithiraj Goshala was set up by former Maharaja of the Patna
State Prithiraj Singh Deo in 1919 and the land was given in 1918, informed an
organiser.
Appreciating the steps taken by people at the Gosala, the
Governor informed that in Haryana there are 416 Goshalas. He said cow is the
backbone of Indian economy, narrating the role cow played in earlier times.
Even if a cow doesn't give milk yet it can provide economic benefits of Rs
40,000 through its urine and cow dung, Lal told.
Lal donated Rs 1 lakh to the Goshala. He also visited the
Budhabahal village and interacted with SHG members. Earlier, the Governor
worshipped in the temple inside the Goshala and fed a cow.
