CM Majhi conducts an aerial survey of flood-hit districts: Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Sunday conducted an aerial survey of rain-hit areas and accessed the flood situation in Ganjam, Koraput and Nabarangpur districts. The chief minister was accompanied by Revenue and Disaster Management Minister Suresh Pujari and Special Relief Commissioner Rajesh Prabhakar Patil.
Focusing on the worst-hit districts of Ganjam, Koraput, and Nabarangpur, the high-level inspection aims to evaluate the post-flood devastation and fast-track relief operations. Together, the delegation set out from Bhubaneswar to personally monitor widespread agricultural losses, structural damage, and the efficacy of ongoing local rescue deployments.
The aerial inspection includes reviewing the perilous condition of Kalinga Ghati, the vital mountain pass connecting Ganjam and Kandhamal. The route has been officially closed indefinitely for public safety. Consecutive landslides have left massive, dangerous boulders strewn across the path, rendering vehicular movement hazardous.
