News: Fast unto death by Attabira MLA



Attabira MLA, Nihar Mahanand is going for a ‘fast unto death’ from tomorrow onwards demanding immediate repairing of the N.H.6 at the District Collector’s Office, Bargarh.


It may be noted that N.H.6, the National Highway connecting Mumbai and Kolkata runs also through Bargarh, an agriculture and industry based District, along with other towns and cities. The road is an important connecting media and of national importance.

But the National Highway Authority does not think it necessary to mend it near Bargarh. The High Way runs across the city of Bargarh. The condition of the road is severely miserable and lots of accidents go on daily. It has been neglected since long. The temporary works that has been done is not sufficient enough at all.

The road is also a question to the ecosystem as it provides immense pollution and dust allergy to the dwellers of this town.

Lots of agitations have been initiated in the earlier days but in vain.

In this circumstance, now Nihar Ranjan Mahanand, Member of the Legislative Assembly, Bargarh, has come forward to go for a fast unto death protest for immediate repairing of the road.
