Bilaspur, May 13, 2023: Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel today asked the officials to complete all the Arpa river projects as early as possible.
“We have to works towards making the Arpa a perennially flowing river,” Baghel said adding every one’s contribution is required to revive the river.
