Anticipating flood triggered by incessant rain fall the state government has alerted collectors of 12 districts for meeting the exigencies.
The districts are Sundergarh, Mayurbhanj, Balasore, Keonjhar, Bhadrak, Jajpur, Kendrapada, Puri, Jagatsingpur, Cuttack, Boudh and Nayagarh.
" The collectors of these districts have been asked to evacuate the people from low lying areas and make arrangements for free kitchens for the affected" , said Special Relief Commissioner (SRC) Pradipta Kumar Mohapatra after attending a high level meeting chaired by Chief minister Naveen Patnaik.
The Chief minister has asked the concerned departments to keep watch on the weak river embankments by deploying mobile teams in these areas, keep adequate stocks of fodder and make arrangements for supply of drink water and health services.
