A Sri Jagannath Temple servitor has
been detained by the Singhadwar Police
for allegedly assaulting a tourist couple
on Monday night while having darshan
of the deities.
According to the complaint lodged
with the police, Srikanta Nandi and
Jyotica Nandi of Behela, West Bengal
had gone to the temple on the Monday.
At about 7 PM while they were returning from the sanctum sanctorum a
servitor dashed against Jyotica. When
protested, the servitor allegedly hurled
blows on her face and her husband,
who came to her rescue. The couple sustained grievous injuries on their faces.
Police apprehended the servitor identified as Madhav Pratihari (32) and are
investigating the incident. In the meantime, the pilgrim couple have left for
Behela and interestingly the police have
released the accused servitor.
A simple act of washing
hands with soap can reduce
the incidence of deadly diarrhoea and pneumonia that
kill more than 3.5 million
children under the age of five
every year across the globe.
This simple act which
most of us ignore in our daily
lives, can reduce the death
toll by about 50 per cent in
case of diarrhoea and by
nearly 25 per cent in the case
of respiratory infections.
Hand washing with soap
– particularly at critical
moments, including after
using the toilet and before
handling food – is a key cost
effective and life-saving
intervention.
Research in several developing countries illustrates
that lack of soap is usually
not the barrier – with the vast
majority of even poor households having soap at home –
rather, the problem is that
soap is rarely used for hand
washing.
Under the slogan “Clean
hands save lives”, State level
voluntary
organization
named Center for Child and
Women
Development
(CCWD) in collaboration
with Save the Children
organized the Hand wash
Campaign in flood affected
areas of Tigiria block of
Cuttack district to aware
the community & children
to know the importance of
hand wash.
A debate
competition among the
children was organized
and the six steps of hand
wash was demonstrated
on the occasion. The campaign was inaugurated by
Chairman of Tigiria Block
Bhagirathi Nanda.
RSP CEO Prasad exhorts youth to inculcate
culture of conserving wildlife, environment
PBD BUREAU
ROURKELA, OCT 21
“THE youth has to develop a
culture of conserving wildlife
and the environment for the
future,” exhorted CEO of
Rourkela Steel Plant (RSP) GS
Prasad while inaugurating
the Wildlife Awareness Day
Celebrations at the Civic
Centre here today.
“You have to generate
awareness in society about
the need to conserve all
wildlife for which degradation of forests and destruction
of their habitats must be
stopped. You owe this to yourself and the generations to follow,”
said
the
CEO.
Expressing anguish over the
fact that many animal species
have become extinct, Prasad
said that all of us now have the
responsibility of protecting
what is left and let all life forms
flourish. This is for the sake of
future generations. “Wildlife
conservation in India took off
with Project Tiger when the
total tiger population fell to a
very low count. Happily,
today, thanks to the conservation efforts, we have a sizeable
tiger population in the country.
As far as Odisha is concerned,
there is the Similipal Biosphere
Reserve which has 18 Wildlife
Sanctuaries and several habitats focusing on specific animals like Elephant Reserves,
Tiger Reserves, Sea Turtle
Rookeries, etc. But merely government intervention is not
enough. All of us have to
ensure
conservation
of
wildlife,” he said. CEO pointed out that RSP had been regu-
larly organizing Bio-diversity
Awareness
Programmes
including Zoo Education
Programmes at IG Park Zoo to
spread the message of conservation of flora and fauna. He
further exhorted all to pledge
to save wildlife and environment for the sake of Mother
Earth.
