'VAL should expand welfare works in K'handi'

The Pioneer, May 27, 2009

Bhubaneswar: A non-resident Oriya, Madhusmita Panda from Lebanon, has urged Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik to ensure that Vedanta Aluminium Limited (VAL) at Lanjigarh in Kalahandi district extends it anganwadi nutritional and educational programmes in all blocks in the district. An additional mobile health facility by the company should also be placed in Dharmagarh in the district as Vedanta has yet to contribute for the welfare of people in this sub-division. The question of mining by Vedanta is not a major issue if the company invests for social development and primary healthcare for the poor people in the backward region, she added.
