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.
