Jagatsinghpur MLA Amarendra Das detained an SDO of the Water Resources Department protesting poor quality canal construction. The MLA alleged that a large canal was narrowed, causing drainage issues for farmers and locals. Despite previous opposition from residents, contractors and engineers allegedly continued the low-quality work. The SDO clarified that the estimates for the project were made back in 2015. https://otvkhabar.in/odisha/officials-held-by-jagatsinghpur-mla-over-substandard-canal-construction-11834602 #creator program
