Orissa: Monitoring committees for restoration work
The Orissa Government seeks to meet the commitment made to the Centre on fund expenditure for flood-hit areas.
Bhubaneswar: Orissa Government on Friday set up monitoring committees for restoration works in the flood-hit areas to meet the commitment made to the Centre on fund expenditure for the purpose.
"As the state government has given a written commitment to the Centre assuring expenditure of Rs 1,208 crore within 45 days, it formed the committees to ensure that the deadline is met," Chief Secretary BK Patnaik said. The departments concerned had already been allotted fund required for rebuiling roads, bridges, common facilities, river and canal embankments, Patnaik said.
While special relief commissioner will head the state-level monitoring committee, collectors will preside over the district level committees for smooth implementation of restoration activities, he said. Meanwhile, relief operation in all the flood-hit areas came to an end with all the people returning to their houses, official sources said.
