PARTIAL LIFTING OF BAN ON FORIGN TOURISTS IN RAYAGADA
Rayagada District Administration in its letter to all tour operators has said that after
careful consideration of the ground situation it has decided to partially lift the
restrictions on visit of tourists (Indian and foreign nationals) in
the Particularly Vulnerable tribal groups (P.V.T.G.) areas by allowing visitors to visit the Chatikona Haat
near Bissamcuttack Railway Station. The area of visit has been
demarcated from the D.K.D.A. Office to the first level crossing near
Bissamcuttack railway station and 50 meters on either side from the
median of the road.
In
no case, the tourists both foreign and Indian nationals will move
beyond the level crossing, Collector Rayagada in his letter has said.

The district administration however,continues the provision making it mandatory for all foreign nationals to report before the Judicial Section of Collectorate, Rayagada immediately upon the arrival in Rayagada and give the details of duration and purpose of their visit, irrespective of whether they are visiting the PVTG areas or otherwise. Photography continues to be banned in the PVTG areas.
This move from the district administration is likely to be a relief to the already crumbling tourism industry in Odisha. Collector Rayagada said that, though the district administration has allowed the movement of foreign and Indian nationals to the PVTG areas, the tourists are required to exercise utmost restraint while dealing with the members of the PVTG communities. He also said that it is by the very nature of things derogatory and demeaning to commodify the tribal individuals and to look to the tribal communities as museum pieces. While trying ot observe their culture, the tourists should respect their way of life. Also he said that the district has tremendous potential for eco tourism, with beautiful forest cover and landscapes and also for adventure tourism as there are number of hilly cliffs, rapids and valleys in this district. The tour operators should try to look at this aspect also, instead of just ethno tourism, he said.

MEASLES OUTBREAK IN KASHIPUR
There has been an outbreak of measles epidemic in some village sof Kodipari Gram Panchayat area of Kashipur block of Rayagada since one week. According to reports there have been four deaths so far from post measles complications.
The district administration has focused on the group of villages, i.e, Railghati, Silapas, perpa, Lundrukonda, Paika Kupakhal and some more village sin the vicinity and established a temporary treatment centre. Since measles is an airborne disease, the spread is rapid and the age group between 2 to 5 is majorly affected by it.
The most commonest complication of measles is pneumonia and most of the deaths that have been reported are because of that. The terrain in this area is very unfriendly and its take smile sof walking before we can reach these villages from the nearest road point. added to this is the predominance of traditional beliefs, such as consulting a shaman, bathing the sick child with cold water in fornt of the deity and repulsion for the medicines given. The district administration has been informed that in many cases people have not given the medicine to their children affected with measles. There have aslo been reports from the health dept that some parents have ran away from the PHC, where the sick children were given treatment, for reasons best known to them. It is becoming daunting task for the administration to check this menace in the given circumstances. However the district administration is confident of controlling the spread in another 3-4 of days, CDMO Rayagada said.
The details of the ground situation and the effort sof the district administration is given above.

RALLY TO PROTEST THE ASSAULT ON SUB REGISTRAR & COLLECTOR SAMBALPUR
In that shocking incident, as per the report of eyewitnesses and reliable sources a group of advocates went to the office of the Sub Registrar to protest against the hike in the registration fees. They insisted that since they have obtained a status qou order from the Hon'ble High court, the registration should be done in the pre revised rates. When Mr. Dehury insisted on a written communication from the high court, the lawyers argued with him and as tempers went high, abused and physically assaulted him. The Sub Registrar was beaten black and blue and he sustained grievous injuries on his person.When the Collector Sambalpur came to know of the incident, she rushed to the spot. Meanwhile the advocates had boarded a bus to Burla to protest in front of the WESCO authorities against the frequent power cuts. At that moment Collector Sambalpur went inside the bus and asked the lawyers the reason for their unruly behaviour and the criminal attack on the sub registrar. This was taken as a provocation by the lawyers, who not only abused her, but as the complaint of Mrs. Darswal goes also tried to outrage her modesty. As if that was not enough, the lawyers followed Collector Sambalpur, where ever she went, threw stones at her vehicle and in a planned move, forcibly entered her residence and vandalized the furniture, important files, the official vehicle in the residence. Not even for a moment did they think that, a lady officer stays there with her two small kids.
The government employees, members of the civil society and intellectuals of Rayagada today carried out a peaceful rally today protesting against the assault on Sri. Dehury, Sub Registrar Sambalpur and Smt. Mrilalini Darswal, IAS Collector & District Magistrate, Sambalpur. The rally was led by Collector Rayagada. Most of those present in the rally wore black badges as a mark of protest. rally started from Ambedkar Chowk and culminated in the Ma Majhi Ghariani Temple. There were no slogans raised in the rally. All present in the rally unequivocally condemned the high handedness of the advocates, who crossed all limits of responsible behaviour when the manhandled and badly injured the Sub registrar and what can be described as epitome of contempt for democratic ethos and rule of law, barged inside the residence of Collector Sambalpur, where the lady officer stays with there two small kids and damaged property including the vehicle, furniture and some important files in the camp office of Collector Sambalpur.
This incident has evoked strong reactions throughout the country and the shameful acts of lawyers has been condemned by people all over the country. The govt employees of Rayagada district demanded a strong action against the criminals. The OAS association in Rayagada held an emergency meeting today and passed a resolution condemning the shameful lawless behaviour of the advocates and submitted a memorandum to the Governor of Odisha demanding a strong exemplary action against the culprits.
People from all walks of life have condemned this incident, in which the advocates have sent down the drain the reputation of what is considered one of the most reputed professions. Those who are supposed to work for the rule of law, behaved like hooligans and anti socials. One of the senior Gandhian in Rayagada said that the activities of the vandals would put to shame even the most shameless of the criminals. Some of the Gandhians have resolved to carry out a peaceful movement in front of Gandhi statue in Gandhi park, Rayagada to protest against the growing violence in public life in the country, particularly against the incidents of kidnapping which the extremists have indulged in recent times.
Collector Rayagada afer the rally said that there is no point pointing fingers at any particular the image profession. This incident should be looked as a handiwork of some anti social elements and condemned accordingly and that if highly educated and well meaning people like advocates behave like this, it is setting a very bad example for people in general.He also told that when people expect a clean, responsive and corruption free governance, people should also improve their thinking and public behaviour.

RAYAGADA DISTRICT SELECTED FOR 'PAPERLESS OFFICE' PILOT PROJECT
Rayagada district has been selected for the pilot project for 'Paperless Office'. This is another feather in the cap of the district administration in matters of e-governance, after Implementation of the Biometric based Targeted PDS project in the district. The district has attained a reputation for being selected as a pilot district for a number of programs, even for those not linked to e-governance.
Aa apart of this initiative, a team from Bhubaneshwar, visited the district and in the presence of Collector Rayagada, conducted a meeting with the Deputy Collectors and dealing assistants of different sections of Collectorate, explaining them the concept of Paperless Office and the necessary changes that would be required to make this program a success.
The concept of Paperless Office involves conduci=ting the business of a particular office with the help of computers. Entire file work, including the note part and the correspondence part are done on the computer. Its basically the same system, which instead of doing on paper, is done on a computer.
Collector Rayagada informed that the district had taken several e-governance initiatives on its own, such as the file and letter tracking system and now this project seemed to be a god sent and that the district is fully prepared to implement this project, now that the support from the state is coming.
The team from Bhubaneshwar will assess the requirement of the Collectorate by studying all the sections for seven days and then working out a required plan for that.
