Odisha CM Urged to Expand Flood Relief Benefits in Ganjam District
What happened
The Government of Odisha sanctioned over Rs 107.44 crore from the State Disaster Response Fund to provide cash assistance and rice to flood-affected families in Ganjam district. Despite the distribution efforts, local leaders have urged Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi to extend these relief benefits to the entire district due to discontent among affected people.

Why it matters
The state government is utilizing the SDRF funds for disaster relief distribution. Political pressure to expand coverage could lead to increased government spending on aid and logistics in the region.
Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi previously announced a relief package for flood victims in Odisha, which included disaster response efforts and aerial food delivery.
