|October 29, 2025
A motorboat procured 12 years ago to serve residents of the marooned area of Manchagaon panchayat under this block in Nabarangpur district is now reportedly ina dilapidated condition, posing serious risks to its users.
As per reports, the motorboat was purchased through a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) grant from Odisha Hydro Power Corporation under the direction of the then-Nabarangpur MLA Manohar Randhari and the Collector. It replaced traditional country boats, offering villagers safer access to weekly markets, pensions, and food distribution.
