The name Baleshwar is recognised from the Persian word BALA-E-SHORE which means 'TOWN IN THE SEA' and subsequently changed to Balasore during MUGHUL Rules.
The recurring waterlogging problem in Town is beyond the capacity of @balasoremunici1 measures
It requires scientific survey, hydrological assessment & long-term drainage master plan
Requesting the @manaskumardutta & @DMBaleshwar to engage @IITKgp or @iitbbs to study the issue
