- The colonies established by the National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) around Kol Dam in Bilaspur district to settle displaced persons will soon get all basic facilities.
- This was stated by Deputy Commissioner Dr Pankaj Rai while addressing people after visiting the colonies established in Jamthal, Chamyon, Harnoda and Kasol villages.
- These colonies were established to rehabilitate villagers who had to vacate their houses for the construction of Kol Dam and its reservoir.
- The villagers had been demanding civic amenities and other facilities in those colonies, but despite assurances by the NTPC authorities, there was hardly any headway in providing facilities.
