It's really sad that many so called 'chinta nayaks' at
Bhubaneswar have been repeating in TV channels that Odisha has not been
affected much by HUDHUD. For them the tribal districts don't count at all. The
severity of the cyclone may have been less than expected and compared to the
previous one, but the loss to poor people including tribal communities, farmers
and fisher folks has been substantial. And please note that communities who had
never faced cyclone in life have been exposed to it in Koraput, Malkangiri and
nearby areas. The trauma is huge. When HUDHUD has not restricted it to the
coasts, why are these people limited to that region only. Time this bias is
shunned and genuine sense prevailed...
