Bargarh: A weak embankment at Kantheshwarpur under Jamartala Panchayat of Padmapur sub-division in Bargarh district collapsed on Friday due to lack of maintenance.

The farmers utilise the water to irrigate their paddy fields.
The farmers claimed that their complaints to the authorities department about weak base of the dam. But, they are to take any action, the villager said.
The farmers have demanded for a permanent solution of this problem.
