However, after a lapse of five years no further progress has been made in this regard. There has been no coordination between the contractor firm and the state government. The contractor was asked to deposit a sum of Rs 1.3 crore for conversion of land type of the government land which was identified for the purpose.

The state government had identified 60 acre of land at Nildunguri village under Jujumara tehsil in Sambalpur district with an estimated cost of Rs 7.4 crore. The estimated cost has now escalated to more than 100 crore, after five years.
