Bhubaneswar: Intensifying its protest over Mahanadi water dispute, the Odisha Government has decided to form a human chain from Hirakud to Paradip in 15 districts besides launching a signature collection campaign at Panchayat level from next month.

The ruling Biju Janata Dal (BJD) will collect signatures from 86 lakh families across the State to protest the projects by Chhattisgarh. The signatures would be sent to the President.

Addressing a press conference here, senior BJD spokesperson Surya Narayan Patro said, “The BJD has proposed the State Government to take legal help to resolve the matter. Besides, the party would launch a signature campaign at Panchayat level to collect signatures from 86 lakh families to protest the projects on Mahanadi.
