Odisha CM unveils vital bridge

BARIPADA: Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Saturday virtually inaugurated a bridge over Sukajoda river in Baripada town.

The bridge, constructed for Rs 71 lakh, will replace a century-old structure, which connected ward nos 3, 17 and 19 to other areas of the town. The old bridge had become unsafe and locals had been demanding a new one to replace it since long. Baripada muncipality chairman Krushnananda Mohanty said the new bridge was constructed due to initiatives taken by the civic body.
