Naveen campaigns in Laxmipur

Correspondent

KORAPUT: “Development of Laxmipur, Narayanpatna, Bandhugaon and Kashipur blocks could not be achieved due to inactive participation of late Anantram Majhi, the Congress MLA from Laxmipur constituency,” said Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik while addressing the Laxmipur by-election rally at Kakiriguma in Laxmipur block of Koraput district on Tuesday. Blaming Majhi, he said that the problems and challenges of the region were not well represented and projected by the local representative.
While highlighting the successes of his government, he said that the promise of dissemination of powers to the basic institution of democracy was fulfilled when the State government had placed the right to issue licences of trading of 800 non-timber minor forest products to panchayats. He said the government was keen on progress of the tribal children of regions like Koraput district by opening 1000 residential schools to facilitate one lakh girls for continuing their education without any hurdles.
This year being the year of irrigation, he recalled the special package offered to the villages of Laxmipur Assembly constituency to get Rs. 5 Lakh each on a priority basis towards developing irrigation facilities.
He said that spread of cholera could be brought under control in Kashipur area for the effective management of the issue by his government.
