Orissa
Bhubaneswar: A nine-member Central team headed by a senior Home Ministry official on Friday visited some of the flood-affected districts of Orissa to assess the damage. Official sources said that the visit took place in the wake of the State Government having submitted a memorandum seeking financial assistance of Rs. 1,093.53 crore from the National Calamity Contingency Fund and 30,983 houses under Indira Awas Yojana for the flood-affected BPL families. The team, which left for Balasore, Bhadrak, Jajpur and Mayurbhanj districts in three groups, would visit Kendrapara district on Saturday, Special Relief Commissioner (SRC) N. K. Sundaray said. The State Government in its memorandum stated that Orissa had been ravaged by at least five spell of floods during the last monsoon season. “At least 59 persons lost their lives in floods during August-September last,” the SRC said. A Central team had also visited the state after a devastating flood in July last and the government had demanded a financial assistance of Rs 306 crore. “But the central government had not provided any financial assistance,” Revenue Minister Manmohan Samal said. -PTI
