State urged to start work on museum

BERHAMPUR: The Rashtriya Oriya Yuvak Pratisthan of Mumbai has urged the Orissa Government to immediately start work on the museum in memory of Maharaja Krushna Chadra Gajapati at Parlakhemundi in Gajapati district. In April this year, members of this organisation and people of the district launched an agitation seeking establishment of this museum. The government then assured them of considering their demand. But the project was yet to start.

President of the organisation Srikant Padhi threatened to launch a hunger strike in front of the Assembly from November 19 if work on the museum was not started by then.
