Minister reviews progress of water treatment plant in Berhampur

BERHAMPUR: State Housing and Urban Development Minister Sarada Prasad Nayak made a whirlwind tour of Berhampur recently to review the progress of a new drinking water treatment plant coming up at Dakhinpur on the outskirts of the city. This new project is aimed at alleviating the perennial drinking water crisis in the city that worsens during the summer months. Executive engineer of Public Health Engineering Department (PHED) Debasundar Mohapatra said activation of this new drinking water treatment plant would surely reduce drinking water problem in the city. This new drinking water treatment plant being constructed with an investment of around five crore rupees is scheduled to be completed by April 15.

It is expected to add up extra water supply of around 20 Million Litres per Day (MLD) to the city. During his interaction with media persons at the project site of the treatment plant Mr. Nayak stressed the fact that the engineers and builder must not let the completion of project delayed by any means. According to the records the city gets 37 MLD of water everyday from two sources. During harsh summer months drinking water supply gets reduced. The extra water supply from the new treatment plant would help solve the problem of scarcity of drinking water in the city this summer. Mr Nayak said the State government has prepared long term plan for solving the drinking water problem in the city. The aim was to provide round-the-clock piped water in next few years, he said. The process has already started, he said.

Mr. Mohapatra said that the whole city has been divided into 27 zones for proper drinking water supply management. Twenty elevated storage reservoirs and 11 underground storage reservoirs would be built in different parts of the city for undisrupted supply. The existing water pipeline would be renovated to check loss of water. New pipelines would be added for unconnected areas. But the dream of 24 hour- piped water supply is linked to a Rs. 250-crore long-term project. The plan is to bring 125 MLD of water from Janibili reservoir to Dakhinpur through a closed pipeline.

Lakhs of devotees celebrate Third Tuesday of Chaitra at Tara Tarini Hill Shrine

The Third Tuesday of the month of Chaitra, also considered as the holiest day in the religious calendar of the Tara Tarini Hill Shrine witnessed a sea of devotees. The massive congregation at this Shrine, also famous as the breast shrine and considered as one amongst the four major ancient Shakti Peethas in India, filled the air with religious fervor and devotion. The ongoing Navratri puja coinciding with the Chaitra festivities further added to the enthusiasm among the people. Stream of visitors thronged the famous Shakti Shrine from the wee hours till late in the evening and the police administration toiled hard to control the crowd and maintain law and order.                                                    

The estimated number of visitors this year has far exceeded the gathering witnessed in previous years with more than 5 lakh people reaching the temple on the hill-top while an equal number of people taking part in the fair on the foothill and on the banks of river Rushikulya.

Thousands of kids tonsured their head as per the age-old belief associated with this Shrine.

Following the tradition associated with Chaitra festivals, people from far and wide were seen cooking food with their family members as thanksgiving to the goddesses on fulfillment of their desires. This is undoubtedly tradition unique of its kind in the country where such large number of people indulge in cooking and which has become an integral part of the Chaitra festivities in Tara Tarini.

The rural fair and temporary shops all across the roads leading to the Temple is another attraction which added to the rush and by noon time the heavy police deployment proved inadequate in front of a congregation of this magnitude. However, the day passed off peacefully without any untoward incident.

The development activities taken up by the Tara Tarini Development Board in recent years helped in ensuring better amenities and services for the devotees this year. Infact, some development projects were also inaugurated on this occasion including the long awaited ring road, street lighting and bathing Ghats on the banks of River Rushikulya which were thrown open for the public.

Keeping in mind the expected gathering, the temple administration made elaborate arrangements for transport, food and water with the help of large number of volunteers. The local administration took all possible measures through heavy deployment of police forces, ambulances and fire brigade. Many senior officials of the state government, district administration and peoples’ representatives visited the Shrine on this occasion to seek blessings of Maa.

PPT seeks satellite port near Gopalpur

BERHAMPUR: Chairman of Paradip Port Trust (PPT) G Jagannath Rao revealed that the PPT has sent a proposal for construction of a satellite port at the Bahuda Mouth (Muhan) near the existing Gopalpur Port. This place is having adequate sea face and 2,000 acres of Government land that can help the growing Paradip Port accommodate its future additional cargoes to be handled by the Paradip Port, Rao told reporters. Many major ports of the country have approached the Union Shipping Ministry for construction of satellite ports in view of the choking of the existing ports with cargoes and having inadequate hinterlands. The Paradip Port is also facing the same kind of situation having inadequate lands for storage of cargoes and creating more berths, Rao pointed out.

Of late, the PPT chairman has offered Posco to utilise the Paradip Port for handling their future imports and exports instead of the South Korean company’s proposed captive port at Jatadhari Mouth near Paradip which is yet to be approved by the State Government. A six-member committee comprising three each from the PPT and Posco will commence its joint survey of the Paradip Port from the first week of April for utilisation of the available facilities in the port. In case Posco is satisfied with the facility of the Paradip Port, it would use port for cargo imports and exports which would add to the volume of cargo handling by the PPT. The present trend of reduction of cargo volume of the Paradip Port is a matter of concern because of the sharp fall of export of iron ore from all Indian ports, including Paradip.

The heat is on! Get ready for summer festival at Tampara

By SUNIL PATNAIK (The Telegraph)

Pictures by Gopal Krishna Reddy (The Telegraph)

Berhampur: The tranquil and scenic backwaters of Tampara, a lake near Chatrapur, the district headquarter of Ganjam, will soon bustle with visitors. A summer festival to be held at the serene settings of this water body in April has been announced by the Odisha Tourism Development Corporation. Tampara is situated on National Highway 5 and is 25km away from Berhampur. It was designated as a tourist spot in 2008. “It is a one-of-its-kind site in eastern India, with tremendous tourist potentiality, and is slowly developing as the prime water sport destination in this region. At present, the 5.8km-long and 670m-wide lake is used for water sports and boating,” said Krushna Chandra Nishank, tourist officer the in-charge who is also the district culture officer of Ganjam. At present, it has a boat club, with two water scooters; five paddle boats, kayaks, sailboats and wind surfing facilities. “We are planning to organise a summer festival here in April and renovate these water sports facilities to attract tourists,” said Nishank.

State chief secretary Bijay Kumar Patnaik had recently visited Tampara and directed to develop the mini-lake into a major eco-tourism centre.

The wetland will be developed under the ongoing Integrated Coastal Zone Management Project funded by the World Bank. The project authorities had already sanctioned Rs 1.20 crore to the corporation for this purpose, an official source said. Facilities such as parking, public conveniences, eco-parks, jetties, tents and cottages will be developed as part of the project. Besides, floating restaurants and cottages are also going to be set up, officials said. “We have vast resources at Tampara, including the beach, availability of the government land, green forests, sweet water body, administrative and police headquarters of the district at Chatrapur, Nolia, fishermen families at the nearby villages and the river mouth. We are also exploring the silk route link through Chilika, Palur, Potagada, Tampara, Gopalpur and Sonepur to attract more tourists,” Nishank said. “We have plans to construct one overbridge, one jetty, luxurious hotels or houseboats, food court for the tourists, art gallery and kiosks to promote local handicrafts, ticket counter for the tourists and parking slots,” he said.

The corporation has decided to promote Tampara and Pati Sonepur in Ganjam into eco-tourism centres. The department has already approached the revenue department to use 636 acres at Tampara and 64 acres at Pati Sonepur for the purpose. Tampara attracted 27,425 tourists in 2010 as against 26,755 in 2009 and 26,230 in 2008, official sources said. Hardly 1,200 people could use the boating facility in one year.

Naveen moves Centre for more medical seats and up-gradation of MKCG to AIIMS level

Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik met Union health minister Ghulam Nabi Azad in New Delhi recently and requested him for an increase in MBBS seats in the three government medical colleges in the state. The three colleges have 150 seats each at the entry level, which the government wants to raise to 250. The chief minister also requested Azad for upgradation of the three colleges to AIIMS-like Institutions under the Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana (PMSSY) along with sanction of Rs 432 crore for the purpose. Azad assured to consider Odisha's demand, but hinted at the precondition of meeting the infrastructure and faculty strength. "We have no problem in allowing increase in seats, but there are certain requirements like infrastructure and faculty strength," the Union health minister said adding "the Centre has always been in favour of adding more seats to colleges."

The state government's stand has been that of increase in MBBS seats would help in making more doctors, which would go a long way in meeting the state's healthcare needs. The government's intention, however, has not been reflected in action. Beside the acute shortage of doctors in hospitals, the shoddy infrastructure and staff deficiencies in medical colleges have always been questioned by the Medical Council of India (MCI) while according recognition. The MCI is the national nodal agency to approve the seat strength in any medical college in the country, be in government or private sector.

The three medical colleges are the lifelines of people in Odisha, over 65% of whom live below poverty line (BPL) and depend on them for treatment. But, senior officials in the health department here confided that there had been large number of vacancies existing in VSS Medical College, Burla and MKCG Medical College, Berhampur. The VSS Medical College has more than 70 posts vacant as against the sanctioned faculty strength of around 240. Similarly, in case of the MKCG, there are over 50 vacancies as against the similar approved faculty strength. Considering the deficiencies in faculties and infrastructure, the MCI has since been giving temporary recognition to the MBBS courses in these two government colleges. "The situation is better in SCB medical college but it is not completely free from staff and infrastructure shortages," said an official.

To tide over the perennial drinking water crisis in Berhampur, the State government has decided to come up with remedial measures. At a high-level meeting chaired by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik in Bhubaneswar on Wednesday, the issues related to drinking water crisis in Berhampur and its remedial measures were discussed. The meeting was attended by MLAs from Berhampur, State Chief Secretary Bijay Kumar Patnaik, State Water Resources Secretary Suresh Chandra Mohapatra, Development Commissioner Rabi Narayan Senapati, and Urban Development Secretary Sourabh Garg. During the meeting, the Chief Minister reviewed the drinking water supply situation in Berhampur city. According to a release from the office of the Chief Minister, a new drinking water treatment plant which is envisioned to alleviate drinking water crisis in the city will be functional by April. The new drinking water treatment plant is now under construction at Dakhinpur on the outskirts of the city. As per schedule, the drinking water treatment plant is to be operational by April 15. After getting functional, the new drinking water treatment plant will provide extra water of around 20 million litres per day (MLD). The city gets 37 MLD of water every day from two sources. During harsh summer months, the drinking water supply goes down. The government is of the view that with additional water supply from the new treatment plant, there will be no scarcity of drinking water in the city this summer. The issue of 24-hour piped water supply to all areas of the city was also discussed at the meeting. At present most areas of the city get drinking water supply for one to two hours during early morning.

A sum of Rs. 59 crore will be spent on round-the-clock piped water supply to different parts of the city. The amount will be spent on enhancing the drinking water supply infrastructure of the city. Work on the project will be started soon. This will involve enhancing capacity of storage reservoirs, enhancement of water supply network through replacement and repair of existing water pipeline in the city. Detailed project report for this renovation and replacement of old pipeline is being prepared. The State government is also thinking of a long-term project keeping in view the increased need of water for the population of the city during next three decades. For it, a 250-crore drinking water project is being planned. The project involves lifting of 125 MLD of water from Janibili reservoir.

Olive Ridleys begin mass nesting at Rushikulya

BERHAMPUR: The Olive Ridleys, the rare and endangered marine turtle species of the world, have started arriving for nesting at Rushikulya rookery in Ganjam district. The Ridleys usually start their single mating season every year in the sea near their preferred nesting coast. After the end of the mating season, most male turtles return leaving behind the females to lay their eggs. While the nesting starts sporadically from January-end, the peak period is February.This year, however, nesting was delayed by a month, said Berhampur DFO Ajay Kumar Jena, who is monitoring the protection of these turtles during nesting.The DFO added that over 2,000 turtles had reached the coast in the last two days and the nesting is likely to pick up within a week. The Olive Ridleys nested on a stretch of around 2.5 km near Rushikulya rookery. Rushikulya is one of the most preferred nesting sites of Olive Ridleys.Jena said the mass nesting is expected to continue for a few more days as a large number of turtles are still in the sea near the coast waiting to lay their eggs in the night.Forest Department officials and wildlife experts are monitoring the mass nesting. Data regarding arrival and laying of eggs of Ridleys are also being recorded. Meanwhile, the fishermen of the area and tourists have been advised not enter the sea to help the mother turtles come onto the coast at night. Forest officials are keeping a vigil on tourists to maintain  tranquillity at the beach, a major criterion for mass nesting. Jena said efforts were also being made to protect the eggs from dogs and foxes which usually dig the area and devour them. Forest officials apart, youths of nearby villages and Rushikulya sea turtle protection forum are engaged in protection of the turtle eggs. Fishing has been banned in the area where these turtles are congregating to check turtles’ mortality at the nesting sites on account of trawlers. To check illegal entry of fishing trawlers to this region, regular patrolling is being conducted in the sea. The Government has banned all types of fishing within 10 km off Rushikulya.
