Actually this whole project was comprising of many other small small projects.
In this DNK project, even the Kothavalasa-araku-Kirandul line and development of koraput railway station was also the part. And these all rail projects were done where else rest all were scrapped off.
The reason is not eco-system, instead it was all corruption and money. Kirandul-vskp line was made quickly as it was funded by japan govt and their iron benefits from baladila.
These...

1. Bhaskel Dam
2. Pakhanjore Reservoir (Kherkatta Reservoir)
