Then, members of the VSS Nagar Unayan Parishad brought to his notice that streetlights were yet to be installed on the Rail over Bridge (RoB) connecting the VSS Nagar to Mancheswar Postal Colony even after three years of inauguration by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik.
The MLA paid floral tributes at the statue of freedom fighter Veer Surendra Sai here and listened to the longstanding demand of establishment of a life-size statue of Sai.

Later, he attended a meeting of Parishad members where he was told about the regions’ demand of a good sewerage system, setting up a permanent VSS Nagar police outpost and availability of city buses. He assured that he would look into the matters soon.
Among others, Parishad general secretary Dillip Dashsharma, former Corporator Rashmita Mohanty, Mohan Hembram, Bholanath Maharana, Atratrana Dalai, Nimai Das, Sheetal Chandra
