Odisha: IDCO starts work to solve Jagatpur’s flooding woes
New Indian ExpressCUTTACK : The perennial problem of waterlogging at Jagatpur Industrial Estate would soon be a thing of the past as the Odisha Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation has finally started constructing a storm water channel and underground effluent line after evicting encroachers from the locality. After repeated appeals by Odisha Industries Association, IDCO has now started evicting encroachers for constructing the storm water channel. “We have already started constructing a 24 km storm water channel and an underground effluent line on both sides of the road for discharge of storm and industrial waste water. While storm water will be directly discharged into Mahanadi river, industrial waste water will be discharged into the river after it is processed at the sewage treatment plant,” said divisional head of IDCO, Cuttack Division, Parikshita Mohalik.
