Residents pin hope on ring road to get respite from river pollution

Loharakhandi river course obstructed at Bhanjanagar after British-era design altered

- POST NEWS NETWORK

Residents of Bhanjanagar have pinned their hopes on the government’s nod for the construction of a ring road along the banks of Loharakhandi River which will help resolve their perennial sufferings from the clogged and polluted river.

This is because the flow of water in the river at Bhanjanagar has been reduced to a trickle due to engineering missteps during the construction of anew bridge that replaced a British-era structure.
