The Bargarh-Vheden canal in Odisha is in a precarious condition due to illegal construction activities under the guise of beautification. The removal of concrete linings for a box conduit project, started without government approval, led to the suspension of three engineers and legal action against a contractor. Currently, authorities are using sandbags and bamboo fences for temporary repairs. Farmers are worried as Kharif cultivation has begun but water hasn't been released yet. Local farmer leaders have threatened protests if the issue isn't resolved and water doesn't reach the tail end of the canal. https://www.dharitri.com/dangerous-bargarh-veden-canal-bamboo-fences-give-hope-to-balibasta-patchup/ #creator program
