Bhubaneswar, July 30: Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Wednesday conducted aerial survey of flood affected areas in Jajpur, Bhadrak, Balasore, and Keonjhar districts in the State to assess the situation and damage.
Revenue and Disaster Management Minister Suresh Pujari, Higher Education, Sports, and Youth Services Minister Suryabanshi Suraj, and Special Relief Commissioner Deo Ranjan Kumar Singh also accompanied the Chief Minister in reviewing the flood affected areas.
With rains abating over the past several hours and major rivers showing a receding trend, the flood situation in the northern districts of the state improved on Tuesday. However, several low-lying pockets of Jajpur, Bhadrak, Balasore, Keonjhar and Mayurbhanj districts continued to remain submerged under floodwater.
Though the water-level in Subarnarekha and Baitarani rivers have decreased, it will take time for floodwater to completely recede from the low-lying areas.
Revenue and Disaster Management Minister Suresh Pujari on Monday has stated that over 11,000 people in six districts of Mayurbhanj, Balasore, Bhadrak, Jajpur, Sundargarh and Keonjhar have been affected by the floods.
Senior officials from the office of the Special Relief Commissioner (SRC) along with district administration and line departments are monitoring the situation in the affected areas.
