Bhubaneswar: A Central team to assess the post-Cyclone Amphan damage in Odisha has praised the state government for its preparedness, response and disaster management skills.
“The pre-positioning of manpower and machines in vulnerable pockets, timely evacuation of people from low lying areas and kutcha houses, preventive preparedness and community involvement are the achievements of the Odisha government,” said the Joint Secretary of Union Home Ministry, Shri Prakash, who led the seven-member team.
“We have seen in remote areas that even electricity could be restored within 24 to 72 hours,” he added.
Prakash said this during a meeting with Chief Secretary Asit Tripathy and other senior officials at Lok Seva Bhawan here on Friday.
