The Chhattisgarh government has constructed a dam on the Sanakelo river at Beleria near the Odisha border, obstructing water flow to downstream areas. This move has severely impacted six villages in the Lakhanpur block of Jharsuguda district, leading to water scarcity for irrigation and daily use. Local lift irrigation projects are becoming defunct as the river dries up and groundwater levels deplete. Chhattisgarh aims to utilize this stored water for its local industries and agriculture, causing significant distress to the residents of Odisha's border villages. https://sambad.in/state/another-game-from-chhattisgarh-11888532 #creator program
