Greetings on the special occasion of Utkala Dibasa. Odisha is a state that stands tall as a timeless symbol of cultural as well as spiritual greatness. Odia music, art and literature have enriched India in countless ways. The people of Odisha, known for their determination, simplicity and warmth, have made remarkable contributions across fields. May Odisha keep scaling new heights of progress in the times to come.
As India observes Vigilance Awareness Week 2025 under the theme “Vigilance: Our Shared Responsibility,” I ask — are these ideals of honesty and justice truly practiced, or do they remain mere slogans?
In 2020, my father — a govt officer who served the State with integrity — was falsely implicated in a Vigilance DA case no (32/20 Cuttack division).During the search of our house, only ₹700 in cash was found, yet the case still drags on, causing years of mental and financial agony for our family.
To sustain my business, I had mortgaged our house for a Cash Credit (CC) loan, but the Vigilance Department froze the loan account for three months, As a result, my business collapsed, the account turned NPA, and our mortgaged house is now under auction proceedings.
My father has still not received his retirement benefits, despite decades of dedicated service. Our family of five — including a small child — now faces the fear of losing our home.
Even my mother’s locker containing my wife’s marriage ornaments remains sealed, though we have submitted every proof of ownership. For over a year and a half, we were repeatedly assured — “Submit one more document, it will be released soon” — but nothing changed. I even requested that at least these ornaments be released so I could sell them to save our house, but no action has been taken.
During our house auction process, Sri K. Benugopal Acharya, In-charge SP Vigilance (Cuttack Division), dismissed my grievance, saying, “Go to the officer who was there during the raid.” Even more hurtful was his remark: “After your home is attached to government property, I will make a government office over it.” Such words are deeply painful coming from someone in a position of responsibility.
Despite multiple grievances, including CPGRAMS Ticket ID DEPT20251268526, there has been no response.
I am writing this after multiple visits to the department, numerous grievances, and several written applications. I have tried my best, but when justice remains unheard, where should a citizen go?
As Odisha prepares to celebrate Vigilance Week with slogans of honesty and transparency, our family continues to suffer in silence.
If “Vigilance is our shared responsibility,” then fairness, accountability, and humanity must also be shared.@OdishaVigilance@CMO_Odisha@India_NHRC@SecyChief
Dear @sardesairajdeep, Please stay away from spreading misinformation.
Digha is just one among thousands of places across the world where Ratha Jatra is celebrated.
but Jagannath Dham, Puri is the one and only authentic abode of the divine Ratha Jatra.
@sardesairajdeep@sabyaactor Rajdeep sir I saw your tweet it says there are 2 addresses for ratha Yatra now, puri and digha Right?
Why 2 sir there are many jagannath temples in other places
Even our district (Keonjhar) has one
But we don't claim that
There's one jagannath dham, one ratha Yatra that's in Puri
How contradictory reply sir... Your original tweet says "Ratha Yatra has 2 addresses" & now u are replying "No Comparison with Jagannath Yatra". Hope u are aware that this is not the 1st time a Jagannatht temple is build. Thousands of Temple are there world wide & we feel proud about it as true Bhaktas of Mahaprabhu. Secondly, I have hundreds of Bengali friends who truely & proudly love to endorse the Jagannath culture. Even they are hurt the way u have writen your initial statement. Odisha & Bengal need your apology & I leave it to your conscience 🙏🏻 Remember Sir, ଚକା ଆଖି ସବୁ ଦେଖୁଛି
@sabyaactor@sardesairajdeep I totally agree with sabya Bhai. Rath Yatra, jagannath dham, Sri Jagannath Prabhu everything belongs to odia people' and has one address I.e PURI, ODISHA
Every masterpiece has its cheap copy.... I don't want to say anything. Iykyk
This is not acceptable. I strongly condemn this paid propaganda. @sardesairajdeep should publish a public apology for such an irresponsible statement & hurting Odia sentiment.
For @sardesairajdeep ji's knowledge : Ratha Jatra a global event conducted at thousands of destinations with pride... but no one ever dared to propagate it in this way.
ଚକା ଆଖି ସବୁ ଦେଖୁଚି 🙏🏻 Jay Jagannath
My humble request to the Hon’ble Prime Minister, Shri @narendramodi ji, to intervene and address the West Bengal government's decision to refer to Jagannath Temple in #Digha as "#JagannathDham." This sacred title is exclusively associated with Puri, Odisha. The use of this term for another site has caused widespread confusion and deeply hurt the sentiments of countless devotees of Mahaprabhu Jagannath. Prompt action is needed to preserve the sanctity and uniqueness of this cherished religious identity. Jai Jagannath 🙏

Had an amazing solo trek to Deomali, Odisha’s highest and most stunning peak. The view from the top was absolutely breathtaking.
However, it was disheartening to see the trail marred by litter. Such pristine wonders deserve better. A little civic sense can make a huge difference… Every visitor should carry back their waste to help protect these places.
