Balangir: The Biju Patnaik Children’s Park in Balangir has long been a beloved green attraction for all ages, a crucial pocket of nature and recreation in the heart of the town.
However, this vital green environment is currently in a state of neglect, with its condition described as being in “shambles.” The lack of proper maintenance has resulted in broken equipment, damaged items, and faulty electric wiring, diminishing its value as a safe and beautiful community space.
The development of this park was notably supported by Shri Kalikesh Narayan Singh Deo during his tenure as the Member of Parliament for Balangir.
Now, seeing the sorry plight of the very park he helped fund, Shri Singh Deo, currently the MLA for Balangir, has taken a strong stance. He has raised an alert for immediate repair and maintenance to restore the park to its former glory.

Shri Singh Deo’s efforts are focused on ensuring this park—a cherished part of Balangir’s heritage and a provider of a much-needed green environment—receives the attention it deserves. His call includes the necessary replacement of all broken items, the proper repair of damaged infrastructure, and the immediate fix of the faulty electric wiring.
His action underscores the commitment to preserving this essential green space for the continued enjoyment and well-being of the town’s residents.
The Biju Patnaik Children’s Park in Balangir is a vital recreational space named in honor of the legendary former Chief Minister of Odisha, Shri Biju Patnaik.
Named after the towering figure of Odisha Politics, who was an ace sportsperson, the Green Zone serves as more than just a playground; it is a community landmark that provides a crucial space for children’s recreation, family outings, and overall well-being in the urban environment of Balangir.
Shri Singh Deo’s initial support for its creation and his current push for its restoration reflect his long-standing commitment to maintaining this valuable green asset for the town.
