Odisha tribal digs 3-km water channel through mountain
A 75-year-old tribal man Daitari Nayak in Odisha's Keonjhar district has carved a 3-km-long canal through mountains to help irrigate 100 acres of land. Nayak started digging through the canal after his crops failed repeatedly due to irregular rainfall. "The district administration would surely help Nayak and the villagers to make the structure a concrete one," Keonjhar district collector said.
