The Safei River in Sundargarh's Badgaon block is on the verge of dying due to negligence. Once a perennial water source, the riverbed is now filled with silt, ash from brick kilns, and dense bushes, making it look like a forest. Local water bodies like the Dhobatutha Gandi have vanished under sand and weeds. Despite various irrigation and drinking water projects, the administration has failed to undertake soil conservation or river protection measures, leading to fears that the river might soon turn into a narrow drain. https://www.dharitri.com/the-river-is-rushing-into-the-bushy-forest/ #creator program
