Chairing the State-Level Natural Disaster Committee meeting last night, Majhi emphasized the need for timely measures in early warning systems, relief and rescue operations, drinking water supply, healthcare, and respiratory care.

He directed that ODRAF, NDRF, and Fire Services remain on high alert to ensure prompt response and achieve the state’s target of zero casualty during disasters.

Stating that Odisha is highly prone to natural disasters, especially cyclones and unseasonal rainfall, the Chief Minister noted that the Bay of Bengal is the most cyclone-prone sea in the world, with many cyclones making landfall in or around Odisha.
