Raipur, May 21
Amid strong winds today, a helicopter suddenly landed in Dhodhrikala, Korwatoli Nawapara of Hargawa Gram Panchayat under Shankargarh Janpad Panchayat in Balrampur-Ramanujganj district. The villagers were overjoyed to see Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai in their midst. The crowd warmly welcomed him, and village women greeted him with aarti and devotional hymns (chaupai).
Under the shade of a Mahua tree, the Chief Minister sat on a traditional cot (khaat) and interacted directly with the villagers. He remarked that his government has completed one and a half years and fulfilled promises made to the people, whether related to paddy procurement or housing. He assured that all work will continue swiftly and that Chhattisgarh will steadily move forward on the path of development.
During the chaupal, the Chief Minister spoke directly with the residents and asked about their problems one by one. When some people raised concerns about water supply and roads, he immediately instructed Collector Shri Rajendra Kumar Katara to resolve them. He directed that roads be identified under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana and construction begin soon. He also instructed officials to ensure that all eligible beneficiaries receive the benefits of both central and state welfare schemes through proper planning and outreach camps.
Even as strong winds and storms blew through the area, the Chief Minister smiled and asked the villagers, “Should I go now?” To which the crowd responded in unison, “Please stay, your presence is our honor.” Hearing this, he smiled and decided to stay longer, giving ample time to the community.
