Road built within five days in Odisha’s Swabhiman Anchal

MALKANGIRI: Daring the Maoists in their fortress, the district administration on Wednesday successfully completed the construction of an 11 km PMGSY road from Hantalguda to Jodamba via Hantalguda in Swabhiman Anchal. The construction was completed in just five days amid 24×7 police protection.

The road, which will connect five panchayats- Jodamba, Papermetla, Andrapalli and Panasput, has instilled confidence among residents of the erstwhile cut-off region.

While the construction of the road was a challenge for the administration due to the threat posed by the Maoists, Collector Manish Agarwal directed the officials of Rural Division-I to carry on the task under the supervision of SP Rishikesh D Khilari.
