During World Environment Day celebrations in Angul, a heated exchange occurred between Chhendipada MLA Agasti Behera and Zilla Parishad President Babita Pradhan over mining and employment issues. Pradhan alleged that mining is destroying the environment and locals are being deprived of jobs, while Behera defended mining by claiming it provides significant local employment and regional development through CSR and DMF funds. https://sambad.in/state/agasti-babita-face-to-face-on-environment-day-12006470 #creator program
