Kandhamal (Odisha): Restoration work at Kalinga Ghat in Kandhamal district, the site of a major landslide, continues to face severe setbacks as continuous rainfall hampers progress, even a month after the disaster.
According to reports, frequent spells of rain have repeatedly disrupted construction activities, making it difficult for repair teams to stabilise the affected stretch. Officials said restoration work is being carried out round the clock, with workers toiling day and night to expedite repairs.
