BHUBANESWAR: Chief minister Naveen Patnaik is now a custom to glow in hardship.
Together with Odisha confronting natural disasters and then, Naveen has ever emerged as a man who provides hope and leadership, resulting in the front in relieving his people’s anguish.
On Fridayhe moved a step forward to demonstrate that the statesman he’s, refraining from looking instant central support from Prime Minister Narendra Modi to its devastation caused by Cyclone Yaas because he believed it might be a burden in the Union administration that’s occupied fighting Covid-19.
“Since the nation is in the summit of #COVID19 outbreak, we haven’t sought any immediate monetary help to burden the fundamental Govt and would love to handle it by our own funds to tide over the crisis,” Naveen consulted later attending a meeting chaired by Modi who seen Odisha and West Bengal on Friday to assess the damage inflicted by Cyclone Yaas.
Rather, Naveen sought aid for long-term steps to create the coastal country — ravaged by four cyclones in as many years — tragedy resilient.
“We’re frequented by this kind of climate hazards each year.
Highlighted #Odisha’s requirement for disaster resilient electricity infrastructure and rocky coastal security with storm surge resilient embankments,” Naveen farther tweeted.
Odisha is intending to develop underground cable system for electricity supply so that there’s less or less harm to electricity infrastructure in the event of cyclone.
The regional satrap’s prognosis was in sharp contrast with some West Bengal counterpart Mamata Banerjee, who jumped a meeting chaired by Modi at Bengal and handed a letter to the Prime Minister searching Rs 20,000 crore aid for his country.
The bonhomie which Modi and Naveen talk was evident from the warm welcome that the Prime Minister, followed by Union ministers Dharmendra Pradhan and Pratap Chandra Sarangi, obtained by the chief minister along with his staff prior to an abysmal discussion and airborne survey of a number of those worst-affected regions in Odisha.
