The old residential office of the Water Resources Department, known as 'Babuhata' in Kendrapara, has turned into a hub for criminals. Spreading over 13 gunths of land, the British-era building has been completely dismantled by antisocial elements who stole windows, doors, and even its foundation. Since the office shifted to Pattamundai in 2008, the property remained abandoned. Despite orders to transfer the land to the Sports Department, no development has occurred, and locals are now demanding the construction of government offices to protect this valuable land from further encroachment. https://www.dharitri.com/valuable-government-land-is-being-misused-becoming-a-haven-for-criminals/ #creator program
