AFTER failing to meet the completion target of December 2024, two crucial barrage-cum-bridge projects over Ib river in Sadar block of Sundargarh district are awaiting further extension of time.

The two in-stream storage structures (ISSs) at Kudabaga and Kopsingha are primarily meant for storing drinking water during summer. Sources said after construction of multiple barrages on the upstream of Ib river in Chhattisgarh, the Sundargarh stretch in the downstream is facing acute water crisis during summer.

The then chief minister Naveen Patnaik had virtually laid the foundation stones for Kudabaga and Kopsingha ISSs in January 2022, stating that the projects would benefit 47,000 people in Sundargarh municipality and villages of Sadar and nearby blocks.
