“Rushikulya has no dam, so we are helpless.”
Seriously?
Perhaps this is the lamest explanation we could get, especially from a State Minister responsible for Disaster Management.
Rushikulya has 4 major tributaries: Badanadi, Baghua, Dhanei and Ghodahada. The basin already has significant water-control infrastructure, including Daha, Ghodahada and Dhanei dams/reservoirs, Baghua Stage-I and the Baghua–Dhanei Doab projects, besides multiple weirs and anicuts.
So the real questions for @sureshkpujari Sir are:
1> What were the reservoir levels before Cyclone Arnab?
2> With heavy rainfall forecast by IMD, was storage drawn down in advance?
3> When, how much and from which reservoirs was water released during the event?
4> Did any releases after the rainfall began contribute to downstream flooding?
Publish the reservoir-level and release data. Let the facts answer these questions.
Ganjam deserves answers.

Tq Sir, we lost the battle we fought against this adamant Govt. I am proud that we still hv a leader who cares about student.
Even our Main Opp party @Naveen_Odisha and @SujataRoutK didn't think of supporting demands
Demand was not to postpone completely but by 1 Week.
So, the exams are going ahead as scheduled. For aspirants from cyclone-flood affected regions, these must be particularly more difficult. The exam itself brings immense pressure, & any last-minute uncertainty adds to the anxiety. In times like these, hold on to your faith.
Wishing all the aspirants appearing for the #OPSCMains the very best. Let no force shake your determination. Give your best.
May the Force be with you!
#CycloneArnab floods have crippled Odisha—roads blocked, trains/buses cancelled. Service holders on duty till Oct 31, yet @Opsc99269484 stubbornly forces OCS Mains on Oct 31! Irony: teaching Ethics with zero empathy. Unfair field! @CMO_Odisha @mohanbjp @PMOIndia@osdmaodisha
After giving a syllabus of whole Ethics paper, and long chapter of "Accountability", where is the accountability of the govt for which aspirants work day and night!?
OPSC OCS Mains must be postponed
Be a little empathetic!

We are putting many aspirants life in risk by conducting OPSC MAINS EXAM on 31st Oct. From last three days govt is not able to take decision. Demanding swift decision #Postpone_OPSC_Mains2025#postponeopsc
What about candidates from Ganjam and from other flood-affected areas who are expected to appear for the OPSC examination?
Cyclone-related disruptions to electricity, road connectivity and train services have severely affected normal life in several parts of southern Odisha. Under such circumstances, how can these aspirants be expected to compete on an equal footing with candidates from unaffected regions?
Conducting the examination despite such extraordinary circumstances would reflect a lack of sensitivity towards the difficulties faced by affected candidates. Even if a single aspirant is unable to appear for the examination due to this natural disaster, it should be reason enough for the authorities to reconsider their decision.
Dear CM @MohanMOdisha ji, if flooded roads force you to use a chopper for surveys, how can OPSC aspirants reach exam centres?
Despite appeals by 2 MPs & 100+ students, why this arrogance?
Postpone the exams by a few days. Don't punish flood-hit students! #PostponeOPSCMains
