The BJP has been demanding the shifting of the dumping yard at Gadkan Sainik School.
Samal warned that the BJP would fight decisively until the dumping yard issue is resolved. He went inside the dumping yard with party leaders and workers to check the situation and distributed masks.
"The Odisha government is sick and is making the people of Bhubaneswar sick. The garbage hill at Gadakan has risen above Khadgiri hill in height. Due to the garbage piling, many people have been infected with dengue. The unhealthy environment has already caused the death of some villagers," alleged Samal.
The BJP leader expressed anguish over the non-response of the Naveen Patnaik Government to the genuine demand of the locals. "Even though BJP's Satyagraha has reached the fourth day, the government is still sleeping. The government has turned into Nidabishnu (inefficient)," he said.
Stating that the Central government has provided adequate funds under the Smart City and Swachh Bharat schemes, Samal wanted to know where the money was going.
