Kendrapara District Rural Development Division-II is facing the prospect of asset seizure following a district court order over an unpaid contractor bill of Rs 1.37 crore. The dues relate to the construction of a cyclone shelter in 2003, but the contractor, Ramesh Chandra Samantaray, did not receive payment for the work. The court ordered the seizure of the division’s movable assets over the failure to clear the outstanding amount.
