Criticism of BJD for inadequate housing post-storm

A recent storm has caused significant damage in the region, prompting a response from local politicians. One key figure, a minister, criticized the ruling Biju Janata Dal (BJD) government for not building strong, permanent homes, known as pucca houses. The minister stated that many people are still living in temporary shelters. This situation worsened following the storm, which left many homes damaged or destroyed. He called on the government to take immediate action to improve housing conditions. Residents expressed frustration over the delays in building safe structures. They worry about their safety during future storms. The minister's comments highlight growing concerns about disaster preparedness in the region. The BJD government has yet to respond directly to these criticisms. Local officials are assessing the storm's impact and working on recovery efforts.
