On the second day of his trip, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik’s secretary to the CM (5T) VK Pandian evaluated the status of numerous development projects and recommended that they be expedited. Pandian is visiting the Kendrapara district. Today, Pandian took action to establish a few temples and mutts in the Kendrapara district. He spoke with temple committee members, locals, and followers at the mutts on the outlying growth and beauty of the institutions while visiting the Laxmi Varaha Temple at Demala in Aul, the Jagannath Temple at Keredagada, the Baya Baba Mutt, and other locations. He gave the Collector urgent instructions to begin creating the DPRs (Detailed Project Reports) for these projects.
Later, Pandian went to a resettlement project in the Satabhaya gram panchayat’s Bagapatia village. A Panchu Barahi Temple was erected here by the settlers. He gave the order to further adorn the shrine. At the Kendrapara district Sanskruti Bhawan, the 5T Secretary met with representatives and students from various government and government-aided colleges in the district. He gave the Collector instructions to compile reports on each college’s specific requirements for infrastructure and other amenities and to put proposals in accordance with those studies.
The 5T Secretary also went through other building projects including the development of the Bhatpada spur in the Rajnagar Block. The Keredagada-Alatanga saline embankment on the south side of the Hansua River has to be repaired right now, he pleaded with the local engineers. He went to the Community Health Centers (CHCs) in the Rajkanika and Rajnagar blocks, where he spoke with departmental representatives, patients, and their families about different facilities, the patient care system, and other issues. He also advised giving the patients more amenities. Pandian shared his joy at the two CHCs receiving Kayakalp accolades.
