Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Wednesday conducted an aerial survey of flood-affected regions in the state to assess the extent of damage caused by incessant rainfall and overflowing rivers.
Accompanying him on the survey were Revenue and Disaster Management Minister Suresh Pujari, Higher Education Minister Suryabanshi Suraj, and Special Relief Commissioner Deoranjan Kumar Singh.
The aerial assessment focused on the worst-affected districts where villages, farmlands, and roads remain inundated due to swollen river systems. The government team flew over several flood-prone areas to evaluate real-time conditions, identify critical relief requirements, and plan immediate response strategies.
Chief Minister Majhi is scheduled to brief the media at 2:00 PM today from the Chief Minister’s Conference Hall in Bhubaneswar. He is expected to share detailed updates on the state’s flood response, measures being taken to assist affected populations, and further action plans based on the observations made during the aerial survey.
This high-level review comes amid increasing concerns over heavy rains disrupting normal life in several parts of Odisha. The state government has already mobilized disaster response forces, deployed boats for rescue, and opened relief camps in multiple districts.
