SPMU, ICZMP, Odisha has engaged State Pollution Control Board, Odisha for sampling and estimation of Bathing Water Quality (20 nos.) as per the requirement of SICOM. NAC, Konark will be responsible for its day to day maintenance activity and overall coordination of development will be carried out by SPMU, ICZMP, Odisha. <\/span>So<\/span>m<\/span>e
