Efforts were initiated to remove the roadside shops from Nayabazar Chowk to OMP campus.

In this case, emphasis was laid on removing encroachments after rehabilitating the traders who were making a living by setting up kiosks for 30 years.

Lack of basic facilities in Balijodi included in RMC
Balijodi area in south Rourkela was included in the eighth ward of Rourkela Municipal Corporation 10 years ago. Due to which there was joy among the locals. Earlier, people here used to get basic amenities by spending their own money. But even after 10 years, this area has not been developed and basic facilities are still lacking. It is claimed that even after the locals raised their demand to the higher officials of the corporation, the work is progressing at a slow pace. There is a bridge to go from Balijodi to Nayadera. There is a settlement on its left side. During the rainy season all the houses get filled with water. Therefore, the local residents have written a letter to the Corporation Commissioner regarding the construction of a drain from the main road to Arun Jena’s house, but so far no success has been achieved. Due to which anger is being seen among the people of the area.
