written by Swati Sahoo

Following a derailment between Angul and Talcher road due to heavy rain under the impact of severe depression over the Bay of Bengal, the East Coast Railways canceled four trains and diverted the routes of eight others on Tuesday.

Rourkela-Puri Special (08105), Rourkela-Bhubaneswar Special (02861), Puri-Rourkela (08106), and Bhubaneswar-Rourkela Special (08260) have all been canceled, according to ECoR.

Similarly, the following trains have also been diverted:

• 02814: ANVT-BBS SPL (JCO 13.09.21) diverted VIA CKP-JRLI-JKPR
• 08503: VSKP-ASR SPL KO 14.09.21) now at KIT diverted VIA VZM-SPRD-TIG-SBP
• 08426: DURG-PURI SPL (JCO 13.09.21) now at BONA diverted VIA SBP-TIG-SPRD-VZM-PSA-KUR
• 08451: HTE-PURI SPL (JCO 13.09.21) now at ANGL diverted VIA SBP-TIG-SPRD-VZM-PSA-KUR

• 02037: PURI-AII SPL (JCO 13.09.21) now at BDPK diverted VIA KUR-PSA-VZM-SPRD-TIG

Specifically, several parts of the state, notably Cuttack and Bhubaneswar, have been experiencing severe rainfall as a result of the deep depression over the northwest Bay of Bengal and adjacent Odisha coast, resulting in water-logging in low-lying areas.

Geologically the state is home to some of the oldest rocks of the world. Odisha also consists of two cratons (e.g. North Odisha Craton and Western Odisha Craton), which are sedimentary formations from the Cretaceous period. They are found in many places and are home to coal deposits. The coasts are made up predominantly of deltaic sediments of Mahanadi, Brahmani, Baitarani, Subarnarekha rivers of Quaternary age.

A Walk Through Deras And Jhumka

by RTD Journal
written by RTD Journal

celebrating life on the road has an appeal of its own. No doubt life on the roads that compels some people to adopt traveling and  without any second thought When it comes to exploring new destinations, there’s no stopping. Odisha is somehow underrated, so here is a mini blog about two must visit  peaceful spot in Odisha.

Deras Dam is a small water reservoir located at a distance of, nearly 25 km away from the capital city, Bhubaneswar. The vibe vibes here, beautiful and peaceful for a long walk but be careful while stepping down from stairs.

 

This short trip began with three of my friends. It was way more fascinating three years ago when the water level was high but this time It was quite a sunny day and unfortunately, the water level was much lower. Pluviophile alert, if you love rain don’t forget to visit dams especially during several weeks of August and September. Deras Dam is located in a small village named kantabada of Khordha district. This dam is the third largest dam in Odisha. Outskirts of Odisha are a must-visit if you want to travel and want to reboot your mind and body after these series of lockdowns. Greeneries which will force you to forget all the chaotic noise of a busy city, moreover you can also find some pretty shells.

 

After having a calm walk in Deras we went to Jhumka Dam which is hardly 3 to 4 km away from Deras. It is another minor irrigation project other than Deras which is located on the sanctuary boundary.

You have the bike and good weather then what are you waiting for, just move and visit because lakes, embayment, estuary and bay never disappoint you. Moreover, some nice hiking trails too are waiting for you if you are willing to explore.

Address: Kantabada – Deras Dam Rd, Barapita, Odisha 752054

“In the districts of Cuttack, Khordha, Puri, Jagatsinghpur, Jharsuguda, and Bolangir, water levels of the Mahanadi and its tributaries are likely to rise. Flooding is likely in Odisha, as the IMD forecasts exceptionally heavy rains. Rengali Dam on the Brahmani River and Hirakud Dam on the Mahanadi River both have large reservoirs. Dam releases may be carried out in accordance with SOP following notification of downstream districts”, according to the CWC alert.

The river Jalka in the Subarnarekha basin in the Balasore district is now running over the danger level, according to the CWC advisory.

With company willpower and will strength, you can actually flow a mighty mountain and Odisha’s Harihar Behera has proved the identical by carving out a three-km-lengthy road thru a mountain.

A native of Tulubi village underneath Odogaon block in Nalagarh district, Harihar built the road digging mountain over a length of 30 years. His late elder brother Krishna Behera additionally helped him within the endeavor.

Consistent with Harihar, a few years lower back, a set of residents of his local village had met a minister with a plea for the construction of an avenue connecting their village. But, the minister reportedly said that no one can assemble an avenue to a hilly village-like Tulubi.

The dejection drove Harihar to embark on the adventure to create records and when you consider that then, after finishing works in his farmland, Harihar started out devoting the final time for the construction of the street. After years of hard work, the three-km-lengthy stretch has become a truth.

Dinabandhu Jani, a resident of Tulubi, stated, “after the minister stated none can construct an avenue to our village, Harihar started to carve out the road through the mountain. We additionally prolonged assist to him.”

“family, while touring our village, used to forget about the path and wander off in the forest. Then i an idea for how long do we face the hassle and determine to construct the road on my own. I and my elder brother worked for the street after completing the rural works and the road has grown to be a truth now,” stated Harihar.

The inspiring tale of making a street through the mountain isn’t always new. In 2018, Jalandhar Nayak of Gumi village in Kandhamal had hogged the limelight for constructing a 6-kilometer street for his family by means of slicing mountains. Earlier than that, Dashrath many of Bihar was given the name of mountain guy for the same feat. The story of Dashrath Manjhi became later made into a movie ‘Manjhi – the mountain guy.’

Odisha: Sea Devours Parts Of Beach, Roads On Puri-Konark Coast

by Swati Sahoo
written by Swati Sahoo

Beach erosion has been a common occurrence in coastal areas. However, with each passing year, the threat has grown to hazardous proportions along the Puri-Konark coast, with the water consuming large swaths of land, beaches, and roads.

The three-kilometer route from Maa Ramchandi Peetha to the Kusabhadra river mouth and Chandrabhaga beach has been filled with sand due to high sea currents, causing damage to the embankment and vegetation along the road.

Environmentalists and residents are concerned that if the district government does not take action to prevent erosion, the entire region would be destroyed by the sea.

A local resident, Sunil Nayak, stated, “The sea condition has remained harsh for the previous six months.” The waves have absorbed a large section of the land between the beaches of Ramchandi and Chandrabhaga. Roads have been swept away as well. The water level around the eco-retreat site varies between 5 and 40 feet. “The wall built along the water to protect the shoreline has been damaged,” he said.

“Strong sea waves have damaged the dunes at Chandrabhaga beach, and seawater has even reached the road in some places. This has damaged the beauty of the sand dunes at the beach,” Sunil Panigrahi, another resident, stated.

Environmentalists speculated that global warming was to blame for the tidal incursion into the Puri-Konark beach, which was previously a popular tourist destination.

Meanwhile, Sarat Chandra Panigrahi, a former IIT Kharagpur professor, urged that the government investigate the situation and take appropriate measures to avoid it from happening again.

Puri District Collector Samarth Verma, on the other hand, stated that efforts will be made to avert the destruction brought in by the marauding sea.

“The impact of climate change cannot be disputed, and it is evident in coastal areas.” The district government is assessing the situation and preparing to reinforce the coastal belts. The work in this area will begin soon,” Verma stated.
