"Due to certain technical complications, the inauguration of drainage and sewerage project funded by JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency) in the city has been deferred," Mayor of Cuttack S K Ghosh said here on occasion of Local Self-government Day today.
Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik would launch the project in a month, he said.
The civic body launched about half-a-dozen projects, including a vending zone for dahi vara and aloo dum vendors at Bidanasi.
