Dated at Bhubaneswar the 11th May,
2019
To
Dr. S K Kamila,
IPoS
Chief
Postmaster General
Odisha Circle,
Bhubaneswar – 751 001
Sub: Request
for undertaking immediate Civil/electrical/technological repairing work in Fani
affected Post Offices of Odisha Circle.
Respected Sir,
As aware, the severe
cyclonic storm Fani or the 'Hood of Snake' tore through the state of Odisha,
becoming of the worst storms to hit the country since 1999. The cyclone brought
winds of more than 250 kmph when it made landfall near Puri on May 3. The storm
caused several deaths, demolished 508467 houses and affected 1.5 crore people
and 8739757 animals of 16659 villages in 159 blocks and 52 Urban Local bodies of 14
districts and rendered millions of people homeless in the cities of Puri,
Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, and Khurda. The cyclone left a trail of devastation in
large parts of coastal Odisha, with the seaside areas being the worst hit.
As per reports received from our Divisional Secretaries,
many post office buildings have been affected warranting immediate civil, electrical
and technological repairing works. Reports on partial damage and roof cracking,
dismantled Sify Towers, defunct generators/ computers/UPS etc are also being
received. Even after one week of the cyclone, many post offices have failed to
operate successfully due to want of electricity and connectivity.
In this regard we would like to suggest as follows.
1.
To
ask the authorized vendors / repairers to undertake immediate repairing work of
generators/UPS/computers and Sify towers ensuring smooth connectivity.
2.
To
call for a detailed report from the Divisional heads regarding loss of Govt.
property in Fani affected areas.
3.
To
request Directorate for allocation of sufficient funds on special ground over
and above the normal allotment under building maintenance and technology head
to meet the extra repairing / maintenance expenditure.
With regards.
Yours
faithfully,
(Bruhaspati Samal)
Circle Secretary
