Bhubaneswar: Giving a boost to the irrigation capacity of Mayurbhanj district, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik will launch two major irrigation projects on Subernarekha and Deo rivers tomorrow.
The Chief Minister is also scheduled to launch several other development projects in the district during his visit tomorrow.
The Chief Minister will launch the release of water from the Subernarekha Irrigation Project at a function being held at Rasgobindpur which will irrigate more than 17 thousand hectares of farm land. This is in addition to the 15 thousand hectares of farm land being irrigated by the project currently.
