Bhubaneswar: Special Relief Commissioner (SRC) Pradeep Kumar Jena has asked the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) to take action in regard to the flooding in Sundarpada area of the city.
After being apprised that Sundarpada has been flooded since yesterday but no action has been taken to pump the water out, Jena said that houses in low-lying areas will be facing some problems of inundation. He, however, asked the BMC to intervene and dewater the area.
Reportedly, people have been vacating their houses as floodwater from Daya river has inundated the low-lying areas at Sundarpada. ODRAF teams have also been rescuing the people from the inundated areas.
