The Chhattisgarh government has been constructing seven barrages on the Mahanadi river there to supply water to these projects, and the barrage at Saradih village is among these.
If these projects draws water from the Mahanadi river, there will be no water for farmers as well as people dependent on water bodies for their needs, he said.
