Odisha government on Friday filed a counter affidavit in Supreme Court

Bhubaneswar:8/12/17; Odisha government on Friday filed a counter affidavit in Supreme Court accusing the Centre of providing misleading information on the ongoing Mahanadi water dispute with Chhattisgarh.

Our team has filed a counter affidavit in the apex court,” said BJD Spokesperson, Pratap Deb
