Tathya.in has a report on the Trijanga township buil by Tata Steel in this area. Following are some excerpts
Eco-friendly atmosphere, planned township, wide concrete roads, round the clock power supply, piped water supply, permanent eco-management and drainage system with lush greenery are something, which even some of the modern townships in the country do not have.
But the new township established by Tata Steel Paribar in Trijanga in Jajpur has all these facilities and much beyond. …
The Company apart from providing 0.1 acres of homestead land and Rs 2.5 lakhs for house construction to relocated families had several round of discussions with them while planning for their new home at Trijanga Rehabilitation Colony.
While It has provided all the basic amenities like water supply, electricity supply, ration, community space, grain storage facility, children’s recreation park, toilets, welfare office, balwadis, dispensary etc, the sprawling greenery that has come up in last two years is for one to see it to believe it.
The colourful houses with dish antennas besides concrete paved roads with avenue plantation and permanent drains shows the commitment of Tata Steel to usher in a better quality of life for the rehabilitated families in Trijanga.
16 km all weather motorable roads, 32km of drainage, solid waste and garbage management through dedicated agencies has been provided.
The Company has also provided sodium vapor halogen lamps for street lighting.
Tata Steel Parivar members are also now use safe portable drinking water from running taps and consume 500 watts per family electricity.
Youths of Parivar member use Community centre for recreational purposes provided by the Company.
Round the clock health care facility is being provided in Trijanga Rehabilitation Colony through a dispensary and 24 hours standby ambulance services.
All of this hard work of rehabilitated tribals in a better atmosphere has blossomed into emerging township where rural and Urban Odisha co-exist. …
