Chief Minister Mohan Majhi Launches 957 Projects Worth ₹1,101 Crore in Nuapada

Chief Minister Mohan Majhi recently visited Nuapada and inaugurated or laid the foundation for 957 development works, cumulatively valued at ₹1,101 crore. Focusing primarily on irrigation, he released ₹802.09 crore for various schemes aimed at transforming local farmers’ lives, boosting agricultural productivity, and ensuring sustainable development across the district.

Sub-Registration Offices to Improve Public Services

Majhi announced the establishment of sub-registration offices in all tehsils of Odisha to address the current gap, as 107 out of 317 blocks currently lack such offices. In the first phase, Nuapada’s Sinapali, Komana, and Boden tehsils, along with four tehsils of Malkangiri, will receive new sub-registration offices, making government services more accessible to citizens.

Urban Governance Reforms in Nuapada

The Chief Minister also upgraded Khariar Road to a municipality, Komana to a Notified Area Council (NAC), and merged the Sinapali and Godal panchayats to form Sinapali NAC. These measures aim to enhance urban governance and provide better civic facilities to residents.

Political Reactions Ahead of Nuapada Bypoll

The BJP hailed these initiatives as “double benefits” under the double-engine government and invited Nuapada voters to support them. Meanwhile, the BJD criticized the projects as pre-election goodies, claiming public loyalty remains with them. The Congress showcased its influence with a massive rally, demonstrating its presence in the region.

Commitment to Nuapada’s Development

During his previous seven-month tenure, Majhi executed projects worth ₹1,420 crore, reinforcing his dedication to Nuapada’s progress and hands-on oversight of the district’s development initiatives.
