Bhubaneswar:9/1/21: The much-awaited Bindusagar lake rejuvenation project was launched today in Bhubaneswar. Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik launched the project virtually at a programme attended by Union Petroleum & Natural Gas Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.

Patnaik extended his gratitude to Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, IOCL Chairman and Institute of Chemical Technology’s VC for their cooperation for cleaning of the holy Bindusagar lake under 5T programme of Odisha Government.

“Ekamra Kshetra Yojana is functional under 5T programme in Odisha. The Bindusagar lake cleaning initiative is a part of the project under the programme to keep the most sacred lake clean. I am thankful to the union minister and Institute of Chemical Technology for their support to the project,” Patnaik said in his address.

“Since the lake is connected with people’s cultural and traditional values and it symbolizes the national integration, collective effort should be made to maintain its sanctity,” he said hinting at water scarcity, which will be a big challenge for all in future.
