Jamshedpur, Sept 7: BJP state executive committee member Samir Mahanty met Chief Minister Raghubar Das at the latter�s residential office in Agrico and appraised him of the persisting problems being faced by the people in the Baharagora Vidhan Sabha constituency.
Mahanty informed the Chief Minister that wild elephant herds have kept the villagers and farmers on tenterhooks for the past six months with the Forest Department miserably failing to guide them back into the jungles. He said that two farmers had been killed by the wild jumbos and that the freshly sprouting rice crops were being continuously trampled by the marauding elephants who are also wrecking havoc by destroying houses and other properties of villagers who continue to live in fear.
Samir Mahanty also told Raghubar Das that the electricity department�s apathetic approach was leading to irregular power supply adversely affecting agriculture and industry in the constituency. Another point of concern raised during the meeting was the disgruntlement of members of Saraswati Mata Samiti who are entrusted with making and providing midday meals in schools. The members were unhappy with the honorarium being paid to them.
Samir Mahanty while apprising the Chief Minister of the problems of the people of Baharagora Vidhan Sabha constituency urged him to resolve the issues on priority basis. Raghubar Das assured him that the problems would be solved shortly.
