Notable advancement has been recorded on the 56.923 km Salandi Left Main Canal (SLMC), which has already provided irrigation to 12,803 hectares. Work on the Baitarani Right Bank Canal (BRBC) continues under three packages. An agreement to supply water to 3,450 hectares through underground pipeline systems under BLBC and BRBC is expected soon.

Anu Garg directed officials to ensure project completion by June 2027, aligned with Odisha Vision 2036. She also called for timely resolution of land acquisition and raw material supply challenges.
