The above link will help us in finding about river Vamsadhara (Bansadhara in Odia) which tells that the river originates near Lanjigarh village in Niyamgiri hills. In a post today regarding the report in the news paper "The Pioneer" which states that Vamsadhara river originates from Thuamul Rampur. This statement is not true.
Please see the link above which contains a report prepared by reliable sources

Dear Dilip babu,
What you say is correct. The Odisha government's Water Resources Department has this information in their base documents about rivers. Now, some people who are trying to propagate that Vedanta's plant at Lanjigarh will not affect Vamsadhara are providing us cooked information.
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan
