Sambalpur Metropolitan Corporation needs to pay attention to this.

On the other hand, Mukesh Jariwal of Marwari Pada said, only such a scene has been seen in Sambalpur city. Officers are building a beautiful park by spending crores of rupees. But do not maintain it. As a result, people will stop coming there. Similarly, Basanti Nayak, who lives in Badabazar area, said that this park has been closed for a long time. Nobody comes here. Only addicts come here. Jump wall and deal in drugs. They has been repeatedly complained to SDA. But they have not paid attention to it.
