Declaration of Sohela as an NAC by Chief Minister Mohan Majhi sparked celebrations across the town and its adjoining villages. People hope the recognition would pave way for infrastructure development and civic amenities.

Residents felicitated local MLA Irasis Acharya for pushing the demand. Acharya assured that Sohela would not only grow into a clean and beautiful town but also into one that is corruption-free, addiction-free, and crime-free.

For decades, residents of Sohela had been pressing for NAC recognition, arguing the town located on the busy Sambalpur-Bargarh road served as a commercial hub and grew well beyond a gram panchayat.
