COATS asked to prepare district plan for Koraput
Correspondent
KORAPUT: People of Madkar village in Kotia panchayat of Pottangi block in Koraput district had to wait for more than 60 years for getting a road connection to the main land at Kotia. The villagers had to suffer to a great extent for the lack of proper attitude of the officials to listen to the concerns of the common man. While the villagers made repeated attempts to present their case before the administration all these days, one pregnant woman who was in need of medical care at Kotia died in her village after giving birth to her child , Gadadhar Parida , District Collector, Koraput said on Tuesday.
Preparatory meet
He was addressing the district level officers from different departments who were attending a meeting for preparation of comprehensive district plan 2009-10 and revised vision document-2020 in the COATS conference hall at Koraput.
While the district administration had spent only Rs. 50,000/- for construction of the hanging bridge over the river recently, it was the labour of the villagers and a little amount of co-ordination and support from the local administration that had helped the people to construct a hanging bridge over the river, he said.
Hence the officials should sincerely present the true figures and pictures from the grassroots while contributing to the making of the mega plan for the district , he added.
Council of Analytical Tribal Studies(COATS) has been given the responsibility by the State to prepare the district plan for Koraput in consultation and participation of the district level officers from different departments, P. C. Mahapatra, Director, COATS said.
