Odisha: BJD questions BJP’s 2-yr track-record in revenue, disaster management sector

Bhubaneswar, June 3 (UNI) Senior BJD leader and former Minister Sudam Marandi on Wednesday launched a sharp attack on the BJP-led government in Odisha, alleging that the Revenue and Disaster Management Department has failed to deliver on its promises during the last two years of governance.
Addressing a press conference, Marandi said the state government has fallen short in ensuring timely relief and compensation for people affected by natural disasters, while several key issues related to land administration remain unresolved.
He further alleged that the government's handling of revenue and disaster management matters has left farmers, tribals and other vulnerable communities facing continued hardships. The former minister further claimed that persistent delays in the settlement of land records, inadequate disaster preparedness and ineffective rehabilitation measures have exposed serious administrative deficiencies within the department.
