Minister Uttam has approached the Chhattisgarh government for a No‑Objection Certificate to proceed with the Sammakka Sarakka barrage project, assuring that all affected parties will receive full compensation.
Uttam, a senior official, has formally requested a No‑Objection Certificate from the Chhattisgarh government to clear a regulatory hurdle for the proposed Sammakka Sarakka barrage. The project, slated to span the border region, aims to enhance irrigation and water storage capacities.
He emphasized that the government will ensure that all landowners and displaced families receive full and timely compensation, in line with existing statutes. The promise comes amid growing concerns from local communities about potential displacement.
The request is expected to be reviewed by the state’s water resources department within the next few weeks, after which construction could commence, subject to environmental clearances.
