KEONJHAR, Aug 29: In 1990, the then chief minister, Mr Hemananda Biswal inaugurated a bridge on the Baitarani. Besides this main bridge, there is another bridge 100 metres away on the road to Saharpada. Building a 100 metre approach road between the two bridges has apparently taken 17 years.
In the absence of the approach road, the diversion road is washed away in every rainy season causing jams. Lakhs have been spent repairing the diversion which is flooded every rainy season. During rainy season, buses heading for Rairangpur, Karanjia, Jashipur and Tiring stop plying on this road. n SNS
This blog tries to explore the lives of rivers and their inter-dependence with the basin communities and ecosystems in a holistic perspectives. It seeks to share the influences of changing natural and anthropogenic processes on the river-scapes and how the resultant changes in river-scapes influence the livelihoods and ecosystems. Taking an integrated approach of river-basin management, it aims to enhance basin-literacy by linking the processes in river-scape, land-scape and human-scape.
