Puri prepares for Lord Jagannath Rath Yatra 2011

RathYatra or car festival is coming. For this the main reason of water reserve in and around main hospital square needs to be well taken care of other wise there can be difficulties if during Rath pulling rain comes then entire area becomes submerged with water and here I am talking about the presence of huge water in and around Hospital Square. This time state government has devised a plan for this and the main subject is to go with two policy directions. Let us discuss this.

The first policy is to make drains in and around the areas of Main hospital to be undergrounded. All of these works already started and they are going on at a very rapid place and for sure all underground drains to be done and if rain water comes at any point of time then these can be disappear within some seconds without any difficulties. Even drains of nearby house holds also connected to underground drains and all of these drain waters will go to outside of Puri town so that there will not be any water deposit in and around these areas.

Then the second instructions to vendours who are at business in and around areas that is nearer to the grand road where three chariots will move are instructed strictly that, they should avoid using polythenes as these are banned and also should not drop polythenes into drains as these can block drain completely and then water comes out of drain and that makes entire route full of water.

The main reason for complete water drain is that many people who migrated to Puri tends to take Gutka which comes in smaller sachets. People instantly ate it and then drop those on the soils and those smaller and emptier sachets becomes lighter as they ate contents of it and then with the flow of air those comes closer to drains and then drops it as many migrants take gutka, and many such sachets tend to fall on the soil and then with air they tend to move out from there and rests nearer to drain and ultimately stops water from passing one direction to that of the other and then water unable to drain out comes out from there and then to grand road and this is the most valid reason of water comes out of drains.

As most of these gutka are sold by small pan shop so it will be very difficult to contain them as habitual users will find ways to search for these and they can go miles to purchase it and even if suppose these are not available at the grand road, but still users can go to next streets shops to find it and that is difficult to contain for sure. So, for this it is necessary for public to be alerted and if they see such actions by any of these people then they should advise them to drop these sachets inside designated dustbins that are there in between some places of grand roads.

These are the problems and most of are some invisible ones as even administration could not do anything as people have to be alerted upon always and should see that such people who ate gutka must ensure that the sachets should be dropped in designated dustbins that are posted in between grand roads from distance to distance in order to ensure that there will not be any such water obstruction during car festival.
