BERHAMPUR: Jirang, Odisha’s little Tibet, is all lighted up with uninterrupted electricity supply, thanks to a mini hydroelectricity project installed recently to utilise stream water and attract tourists. The pilot project, undertaken by the Gajapati administration, was set up over a pond Padmasambhaba Manasarovar near Boudha Vihar, in July this year at a cost of Rs 3.5 lakh. Home to the famous Padmasambhava Mahavihara Monastery, the colony, already a prime tourist attraction is likely to draw more visitors now with infrastructural development.
