BHAWANIPATNA: Kalahandi district has suffered heavy damage due to two consecutive floods in August within a span of seven days, but restoration work is lacking.
This was alleged by former minister and Congress leader Bhupender Singh at a press meet here on Wednesday.
He said floods have sand-cast more than 10,000 hectares rendering them unsuitable for cultivation.
Singh suggested that the sand-cast lands should be reclaimed by the Government.
He demanded construction of embankments on both banks of Hati, Tel and Udanti rivers and barrage over Tel and Udanti rivers to check flood. The high bridge over Hati river at Junagarh should be constructed early, he demanded.
