Bhubaneswar Is Growing. But Are We Building a Better City?
Look at these photographs and the video carefully. This is not some remote corner of Odisha. This is beside NH-316, on the Bhubaneswar–Puri corridor, in the landscape adjoining the Daya River floodplain.
What we see here is a familiar picture of urban expansion. Residential development is steadily moving into low-lying areas, while the surrounding wetlands and natural water-retention spaces are becoming increasingly fragmented. This is happening not only here, but across the expanding urban landscape around Bhubaneswar, Cuttack and Puri.
There is something interesting to learn from the way many older settlements evolved. They may not have had modern hydrological modelling or sophisticated drainage engineering, but their relationship with water was often much more sensible. Lakes, ponds, wetlands, low-lying areas, channels and rivers functioned as parts of a connected system. Rainwater could first be absorbed and temporarily stored in surrounding wetlands, freshwater could be retained in ponds and lakes, and excess water could move through natural channels towards the river. The settlement and the water system were not treated as completely separate things.
Our modern cities are increasingly doing the opposite. We fill the low-lying land, build over natural drainage paths, cover the ground with concrete and then construct drains to get rid of the water as quickly as possible. When the drainage system fails during an extreme rainfall event, we call it urban flooding.
This is where the photographs become important. The Daya floodplain is not an empty piece of land waiting for a developer. It is part of the natural hydrological system of the region. Once such landscapes are progressively occupied, the city loses some of its ability to absorb and manage water naturally.
And we are doing this while the intensity of extreme rainfall is becoming a growing concern. Cumulonimbus-driven convective systems can produce enormous quantities of rainfall within a short period. Climate change may not be the original cause of our urban-planning failures, but it can make the consequences considerably worse.
This is why Bhubaneswar's recurring waterlogging should not be discussed only as a problem of inadequate drains. The deeper problem is how we have allowed the city to expand and what land we have sacrificed in the process.

#Bhubaneswar | The Odisha School & Mass Education Department has directed all Collectors to immediately deploy teachers in single-teacher elementary schools to ensure compliance with the Right to Education (RTE) Act, 2009.
Districts have been asked to complete the rationalisation process within one month and submit an Action Taken Report within 15 days.

Request @FS_Odisha to inspect food quality and hygiene standards in star hotels across Odisha.
@bmcbbsr should also inspect star hotels in Bhubaneswar. The recent Bengaluru incident is an eye-opener. @CMO_Odisha.
Luminous Tower, Infocity, Bhubaneswar.
This is Luminous Infoways, an IT company founded by Odia entrepreneur Tapan Mohanty, who is the company’s Founder, CEO and MD.
@AkshayKSamal Yes True Now days Visibility mostly influenced by .... Resources allocated !!
So most political party are running behind the resources may not be focusing for people's basic need...
If you think 5-star hotels always mean hygienic kitchens and good-quality food, think again.
Food safety teams inspected 26 premium hotels in Bengaluru and found expired food, rotten meat, fungal growth and other violations.
Some recoveries:
• The Lalit Ashok: 76 kg meat, 200 kg vegetables + 32 litres expired milk
• Shangri-La: 15 kg meat
• Four Seasons: 19 kg meat
• Vivanta Bengaluru Whitefield: 3 kg expired bakery products
• Taj Yeshwantpur: 72 kg meat & fish
• Radisson Blu (The Atria): 105 kg expired food - 50 kg chicken, 25 kg meat, 23 kg fish & 7 kg vegetables
35 food samples were also collected for laboratory testing.
As a resident of this region, this is deeply concerning.
₹600 crore spent over 12 years on flood control and embankment repairs in Dasarathpur, Jajpur. Yet the people here continue to face recurring floods, loss of crops, homes and even lives.
We don’t need another temporary repair every monsoon. We need accountability, a proper audit of the expenditure, and a permanent solution to the flood problem.

Mayurbhanj in the news every day, each month a national daily will cover Mayurbhanj for our craft, culture, cuisine and community ! My prediction Baripada will host the best Biennale in India
