'Come on Sambalpur!' by K.J.S.Chatrath

Lok Mahotsav, Sambalpur. Photo source Wikipedia (Aloke Panigrahi).

I spent close to two decades in Odisha, including three years in Sambalpur. It is a district famous for Sambalpuri Sarees and the mighty Hirakud Dam is located here.

I love Odisha- it culture, its food et al. I am dismayed to note that Sambalpur town has been rated as 467th in the list of cleanest 476 A-Category cities in the country.

Come on Odisha.

Come on Sambalpur.

Clean it up and show the country what people of Sambalpur can do!
