In Jajpur district, construction of a bridge on the Mangalpur-Narigan RD road has caused severe inconvenience as the contractor cut off the only road without providing a diversion. Despite a budget of 8.31 crore and a completion deadline of October 2023, the project remains incomplete. Heavy rains have flooded the alternative field paths, cutting off connectivity for several panchayats including Thalkudi and Jafarpur. Locals allege that the contractor is using threats when confronted, and departmental officials have promised action against the negligence. https://sambad.in/district/jajpur/jajpur-mangalpur-narigaon-road-bridge-delay-no-diversion-road-connectivity-hit-12136879 #creator program
