Many
persons of Berhampur city staged a dharna in front of the Berhampur stadium on
the intervening night of Wednesday and Thursday to prevent shifting of
equipment from the girls' sports hostel for weightlifting. The government
recently decided to shift the hostel from Berhampur to Bhubaneswar. On March
13, sports persons staged a rally protesting against the government's move and
submitted a memorandum to chief minister Naveen Patnaik through revenue
divisional commissioner.
"As
soon as we get information about the arrival of the truck to take away the
equipment, we came to the Berhampur stadium and detained the truck," said
BJP's town unit President Ram Kumar Patra. He along with several others staged
dharna throughout the night in front of the stadium gate.
"The
government has decided to establish a weightlifting academy at Gopalpur. The
district administration has identified sx acres of land for the proposed
academy," said district collector Krishan Kumar.

Naveen Patnaik has in actuality gone mad. this government
has done nothing for Berhampur region and now they are taking away one after
another institutions of the city to the state capital. now the devil's face of
this mad CM has come to the fore and in the forth coming election we will give
fitting reply to BJD government and Naveen Patnaik
Odisha (Berhampur, Odisha) replies to anju
No doubt Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik has gone mad
but question is what the local leaders are doing? Why not the MP, MLA and Mayor
of Berhampur protesting against this decision? Why not the leaders of BJD protesting
against this decision? Opposition parties like BJP and Congress and the media
should also protest against this anti Berhampur decision of the government.

Rightly said sir. Only a separate state will change the fate
of this region. We want 'Kalinga State'
Naveen patnaik's foolish decisions (Delhi)
Naveen Patnaik led BJD govt. ditched the people of Berhampur
and South Odisha many times. the recent incident shows the step-motherly
attitude of the BJD govt towards Berhampur. now i realize why some people have
been demanding a separate Kalinga Pradesh consisting ten districts of south
Odisha..........if the govt will not change its decisions than a separate state
for South Odisha (the erstwhile kalinga) is inevitable ....only a a separate
state will change the condition of south Odisha..............

Exactly, only a separate Kalinga State for south Odisha can save Berhampur and the entire south Odisha. Any field you can see, for example Railway, Air Connectivity, Education, Health facilities, social and economic development, the entire south odisha is under developed. Therefore now it is the time for the local leaders to raise voice for a separate Kalinga State.

ReplyDeletevery sad, during BJD rule Ganjam dist has got nothing,even if the CM represents the district. Naveen pattnaik has become very much bureaucratic in his attitude, and does not understand the minds of the people. Berhmapur has been entirely neglected during his rule, the roads of the city and the water supply system stand testimony to this neglect. all the election packages, he is declaring day in and day out, will not get him the desirable votes to come back to power the next time. the expansion of BBSR city at the cost of the rest of the state gives the impression that Odisha is suffering from malnutrition, pictures of which are availble on the internet, picture of small children with pot bellies.
ReplyDeleteThis step by Odisha Government is a clear sign of their biased attitude towards the silk city of Odisha.
ReplyDeleteBerhampur off late has emerged as a good centre for Weightlifters. But this attitude of Govt. will hamper this Sports in Berhampur.
