Odisha steps up safety checks of unsafe buildings after Delhi hostel tragedy

Digital Desk | Bhubaneswar, Sep 8 (IANS) In the wake of a recent 5-storey students' hostel building collapse in Satya Niketan of New Delhi that claimed the lives of seven persons, the Odisha Government has intensified its drive to identify, assess and take action against buildings posing a threat to life and property across the State. The Odisha Housing and Urban Development (H&UD) Minister Dr Krushna Chandra Mahapatra on Tuesday said that the government has already undertaken an assessment of unsafe government buildings and notices have been issued wherever required. He said the department has undertaken a fresh review of the situation and directed officials to expedite necessary action against buildings found to be unsafe. Based on the assessment, all government buildings identified as unsafe have been examined, and notices have also been issued. I had called for another review with the Department yesterday. Very soon, notices will be issued for demolition of those buildings which have been found unsafe, Dr Mahapatra said. The Minister made it clear that the Government would take firm and timely action against unsafe structures falling under its jurisdiction. Buildings under the H&UD department will be dealt with by the department itself, while structures belonging to other government departments will be brought to the notice of the respective authorities for appropriate action. Importantly, the Government has also decided to bring unsafe private buildings under the ambit of the ongoing safety assessment. The Minister said that notices would be issued to owners of private buildings found to be in a dangerous or structurally vulnerable condition, as per applicable rules and statutory provisions. To ensure a comprehensive and time-bound assessment, a 15-day inquiry and inspection team has been constituted. The team will undertake detailed inspections of buildings identified as potentially unsafe, examine their structural condition and submit its findings within the stipulated period. The inquiry team will conduct a thorough inquiry and investigation into the matter. After inspection, whichever buildings are found to fall under the unsafe category will be demolished, the Minister stated. The officials stated that the initiative assumes particular significance in cities such as Kataka and Puri, where a number of old and privately owned structures require closer examination. The concerned Urban Local Bodies and other authorities will undertake necessary inspections and identify buildings that may pose risks to residents, pedestrians and the general public. The Government has emphasised that the exercise is essentially preventive and safety-oriented, aimed at identifying structural risks before they result in loss of life or property. The authorities will accordingly assess the condition of buildings and initiate action wherever structures are found to be beyond safe occupation or repair. The H&UD Department will coordinate with Urban Local Bodies and other concerned government departments to ensure that notices, inspections and subsequent action are undertaken in a systematic and time-bound manner.

New rules for Shree Jagannath Temple Land Management get Odisha Cabinet nod

Digital Desk | Bhubaneswar, Sep 8 (IANS) The Odisha Cabinet has approved the Shree Jagannath Temple Land Management Rules, 2026, aimed at bringing greater transparency, accountability and efficiency in the management and settlement of Shree Jagannath Temple (SJT) lands across Odisha. The rules received the Cabinet nod at a meeting chaired by Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Monday evening. According to the official statement, the new Rules have been framed under Section 32 read with sub-section (2) of Section 16 of the Shree Jagannath Temple Act, 1955, superseding the Uniform Policy, 2003 and Amended Uniform Policy, 2019. The government said the new rules establish a fully online, portal-based system for the receipt, verification and disposal of applications for settlement of SJT lands. The rules mandate the constitution of a District Level Land Sub-Committee (DLSC), headed by the Collector, and a Shree Jagannath Mahaprabhu Bhumi Sanchalan Committee (SJMBSC) at the district level for field verification and scrutiny of each application. Under the new Rules, the Shree Jagannath Temple Managing Committee (SJTMC) shall issue No Objection Certificates (NOCs) for all settlements, ensuring institutional oversight. The rules prescribe valuation based on the higher of the Benchmark Value (BMV) and Average Land Sale Statistics (ALSS) for Sevakas, Mathas, Non-Sevakas and other beneficiaries. Commercial land up to 0.250 decimal shall be valued at four times the BMV or ALSS, whichever is higher. Special concessions have been provided for Bijesthali of Mathas, with seva puja having continuous possession for over 30 years. The rules also mandate comprehensive GIS-based digital mapping and inventory of all SJT lands through a publicly accessible digital dashboard, integrated with the Revenue & Disaster Management Department's Bhulekh/Bhunaksha portal for real-time updation. Any settlement obtained through fraud, misrepresentation or fabricated documents shall be liable to cancellation by the SJTMC, and civil and criminal proceedings may be initiated against defaulters. A high-level Appeal Committee headed by the Principal Secretary to Government, Law Department, has also been constituted to hear appeals from aggrieved parties. The rules shall come into force on the date of their publication in the Odisha Gazette and shall remain in force for a period of two years.

Digital Desk | Bhubaneswar, Sep 7 (IANS) The Odisha Vigilance on Monday apprehended a Revenue Inspector (RI) and an Assistant Revenue Inspector (ARI) for allegedly demanding and accepting a bribe of Rs 35,000 from a person for processing an enquiry report in connection with a land conversion and mutation case in Puri district. The accused were identified as RI Kalyani Jena, and ARI Purna Chandra Behera, both posted at the Siula RI Circle under Pipili Tehsil in Puri district. According to the Odisha Vigilance department, the complainant had applied under the rules of the Revenue and Disaster Management Department for conversion of agricultural land into homestead land. When he approached the RI office to enquire about the status of his application, the accused duo Jena and Behera allegedly demanded Rs 35,000 for initiating the mutation case and processing and forwarding the required enquiry report. Despite repeated requests by the applicant, the accused duo insisted on taking the demanded bribe. After failing to meet the demanded bribe, the applicant (complainant) approached the Vigilance authorities narrating harassment by Jena and Behera, the Vigilance department said. Acting on the complaint, a Vigilance team laid a trap on Monday and caught Jena and Behera while accepting the bribe from the complainant. The entire bribe amount of Rs 35,000 was recovered from the possession of the accused and seized, the agency said. Following the trap, simultaneous searches were launched at the accused persons' office and residential premises at Brahmakumdi (Charichhak), Achyutapur (Chandanpur) and Rasulgarh in Bhubaneswar as part of an investigation into their disproportionate assets, the Vigilance department added. In connection with the case, Bhubaneswar Vigilance Police Station has registered a case on September 5 under Section 7 of the Prevention of Corruption (Amendment) Act, 2018.
