Raipur (thestates.news) | On the initiative of Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai, water has been released into the main stream of Indravati river by controlling the water flow in Jora Nala Control Structure. After the consent of the Odisha government, the flow of water was ensured by putting sand bags in the structure, due to which the water level in Indravati river has increased.
On the instructions of Chief Minister Shri Sai, Water Resources Minister Shri Kedar Kashyap discussed with Union Jal Shakti Minister Shri CR Patil to resolve the water crisis of Indravati river. On this, the Union Minister gave necessary instructions to the Chief Ministers of Chhattisgarh and Odisha to resolve the problem. As a result, with the consent of the state of Odisha, Jora Nala Control Structure was temporarily raised by one feet, which improved the water flow of Indravati river.

In this regard, under the guidance of Collector Shri Haris S, Additional Collector Shri CP Baghel, Additional Superintendent of Police Shri Maheshwar Nag and EE of Water Resources Department Shri Ved Pandey gave complete information to the local farmers in the Prerna Sabha Room of the District Office.
