Kailash Sahu from Lanjigarh in Kalahandi district of Odisha says this is an adivasi block and officers are rarely found in the offices here. There is not much communication facility in the area.

The complaints to higher officials does not make any difference. For more Mr Sahu can be reached at 09937634367
