Odisha govt launches statewide Sujala campaign to promote water conservation
Digital Desk | Bhubaneswar, Oct 2 (IANS) Odisha Housing & Urban Development (H&UD) Department Minister Krushna Chandra Mahapatra on Friday inaugurated the statewide Sujala campaign in Bhubaneswar, calling upon citizens to adopt responsible water-use practices and make water conservation an integral part of their daily lives. Organised by the Water Corporation of Odisha (WATCO) under the H&UD Department, the campaign will run from October 2 to 16, 2026, across the state. The H&UD Department, in an official statement, noted that the campaign aims to create widespread public awareness about water conservation, the importance of safe drinking water, and the prevention of water-borne diseases. The department further added that it seeks to promote collective responsibility for protecting precious water resources, preventing water wastage, and ensuring the availability of safe water for present and future generations. Centred on the theme, Water Conservation: A Necessity Today, the Destiny of Future Generations, the campaign will encourage citizens to use water judiciously and embrace simple, sustainable practices in their homes and communities, the department said. It added that the initiative underscores the importance of public participation in conserving water and building healthier, cleaner, and more sustainable urban environments. The campaign will also highlight the link between safe drinking water and public health, with awareness programmes on water-borne diseases, safe water storage, household hygiene, pollution-free water sources, and the safe handling of drinking water. It will further promote water-saving practices, including turning off unused taps, repairing leaks promptly, and keeping waste away from rivers, ponds, tube wells, and other water sources. The campaign will also encourage rainwater harvesting, water reuse, regular cleaning of household water tanks, and hygienic practices to ensure safe drinking water. The campaigns motto, Water Supply Is Our Responsibility; Water Conservation Is Your Duty, highlights the complementary roles of the government and citizens in ensuring sustainable water management. While public utilities are responsible for providing a regular and safe water supply, the judicious use of water, prevention of wastage, and protection of water sources require the active participation of every citizen. To strengthen citizen engagement and facilitate the resolution of water-supply-related grievances, the department has urged people to use its toll-free helpline numbers, 155359 and 1800-1216-833, to report issues and seek assistance. The Government of Odisha has appealed to citizens across the state to participate wholeheartedly in the Sujala campaign and translate its message into everyday action.

Odisha CM urges citizens to join efforts to make Bhubaneswar cleanest city
Digital Desk | Bhubaneswar, Oct 1 (IANS) Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Thursday urged citizens to take individual responsibility for keeping the state capital Bhubaneswar clean, saying the city can become the cleanest and most beautiful city in the country if everyone performs their responsibility properly. This city belongs to all of us, and the responsibility for keeping it clean also rests with all of us. At present, Bhubaneswar ranks ninth in the country's cleanliness ranking. If we all individually discharge our responsibilities properly, our city can become the cleanest and most beautiful city in the country and secure the first position, CM Majhi said. The Chief Minister was speaking while participating in the 'Ek Din, Ek Ghanta, Ek Saath' cleanliness programme held under the banner of 'Swachhata Hi Seva' campaign organised by the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) at famous Khandagiri. Urging citizens to remain conscious of their responsibility towards cleanliness, Chief Minister Majhi said people should extend the practice of keeping their homes and surroundings clean to the roads in front of their houses and their colonies. He advised citizens to cooperate with sanitation workers by segregating wet and dry waste at home and handing it over regularly to sanitation vehicles. He also urged people not to litter on roads and to discourage others from doing so. Chief Minister Majhi said that Mahatma Gandhi had accorded great importance to cleanliness even before Independence. Since 2014, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has transformed Mahatma Gandhi's vision into a broad-based mass movement through the 'Swachhata Hi Seva' campaign, he added. The Chief Minister also described the special 'Ek Din, Ek Ghanta, Ek Saath' programme as an innovative and commendable initiative to involve society in cleanliness. He credited Safai Mitras for making Bhubaneswar cleaner and more beautiful and thanked them for their continuous service.

Odisha: NHRC orders probe into closure of Rs 20-crore rehabilitation centre
Digital Desk | Bhubaneswar, Oct 1 (IANS) The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has directed the Odisha Social Security and Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities (SSEPD) Department to conduct an inquiry into allegations regarding the non-functioning of an advanced rehabilitation facility built by the Odisha government at Rs 20 crore at Capital Hospital in Bhubaneswar. Acting on a petition filed by Advocate Akhand of the Orissa High Court, the apex rights body issued the directions on September 28. The Commission has asked the Principal Secretary of the SSEPD Department to submit the inquiry report within two weeks. In his complaint, Akhand alleged that the Advanced Rehabilitation Centre (ARC) at Capital Hospital, Bhubaneswar, has remained closed for more than a year. He added that the ARC was established in March 2019 at Rs 20 crore by the Department of Social Security and Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities. It was equipped with advanced robotic rehabilitation machines, prosthetic services and assistive technologies intended to provide specialised treatment and rehabilitation to persons suffering from stroke, neuromuscular disorders, brain injuries, polio and limb disabilities, the complainant stated, adding that the facility also provided free artificial limbs and therapy to underprivileged persons. However, according to the complaint, the facility has remained non-functional for more than a year. The premises are allegedly locked, while the costly machines and infrastructure created with public money remain unused. Akhand claimed that the issue raises serious questions about the utilisation of the Rs 20 crore public investment made to establish the specialised rehabilitation facility. The complainant further alleged that patients, particularly those belonging to poor, rural and tribal communities, have been deprived of essential rehabilitation and assistive services because of the centres closure. In view of the above, the Commission is of the considered view that the allegations levelled in the complaint, if true, are serious violations of the human rights of the victims, the apex rights body remarked.
