BeDA Set to Expand Its Jurisdiction, 27 Villages to be Included!!!

In a significant move to boost urban planning and infrastructure development, the Brahmapur Development Authority (BeDA) is all set to expand its jurisdiction by including 27 more revenue villages from the Kanishi and Kukudakhandi blocks. This expansion will increase the total number of villages under BeDA's purview from 139 to 166.

The decision, pending an official notification from the State government, aims to improve urban planning and infrastructure development in the region. As per the revised Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) of 2015, BeDA will now cover Brahmapur Municipal Corporation (BeMC), Chhatrapur, and Gopalpur Notified Area Councils (NACs), along with an expanded area of approximately 6,666 hectares.

The 27 villages to be included in BeDA's jurisdiction are spread across the Kanishi and Kukudakhandi blocks. These villages will benefit from improved infrastructure and urban planning managed by BeDA. Revenue collected from these villages will be used to develop essential facilities and streamline urbanization.

The decision was taken during the 46th General Council Meeting of BeDA on December 30, chaired by Housing and Urban Development Minister Dr. Krushna Chandra Mahapatra. While the expansion is expected to enhance the region's overall infrastructure, some concerns have emerged among residents over jurisdictional overlaps between BeDA and BeMC.

Established in 1993, BeDA was created to regulate urban development in the region. With this expansion, BeDA aims to meet the growing urbanization needs and foster comprehensive development for the residents of Brahmapur and its surrounding areas.

Withdraw Notification for Online Delivery of Drugs, Demands Druggists' Association!!!

The Ganjam and Phulbani Chemists' and Druggists' Association (GPCDA) has urged the Union Health Ministry to revoke a notification permitting online delivery of medicines, citing gross misuse. This is the third time the association has made this demand.

The notification, GSR 220 (E), was issued during the Covid-19 pandemic, allowing pharma companies and medicine shops to deliver medicines to consumers' doorsteps. However, the association claims that this facility is being exploited by digital platforms like Swiggy, which are delivering medicines without following necessary regulatory safety measures.

GPCDA president Bishnu Prasad Panda and secretary P Satyanarayana emphasized that the notification was intended for emergency situations, not for regular online delivery. They warned that if the government fails to revoke the notification, the association's 12.40 lakh members will intensify their agitation.

The All India Organisation of Chemists and Druggists (AIOCD) has also written to the Union Health Ministry, urging the withdrawal of the notification in public interest. AIOCD president JS Shinde and general secretary Rajiv Singhal pointed out that the misuse of the notification poses a significant threat to public health and safety.

The GPCDA, AIOCD, and UCDA have joined forces to demand the withdrawal of the notification, emphasizing the need to maintain public health and safety.

WORLD MEDITATION DAY OBSERVED FOR THE FIRST TIME ON DECEMBER 21

December 21, 2024, marked the inaugural celebration of World Meditation Day, as declared by the UN General Assembly. This momentous occasion coincides with the Winter Solstice and falls six months after International Yoga Day.

The theme for 2024, "Inner Peace, Global Harmony!", serves as a global call to recognize the day by promoting mindfulness, peace, and health. Meditation, an ancient practice rooted in various cultures and traditions, has evolved into a universal tool for personal well-being and mental health.

In line with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, World Meditation Day emphasizes the importance of mental health in achieving sustainable development. Goal 3, "Good Health and Well-Being," highlights the need to address key challenges such as mental health, universal health coverage, and the reduction of health inequities.

As the world comes together to observe this special day, the wise words of a spiritual leader resonate: "Meditation is the secret of all growth in spiritual life and knowledge. Be the master of mind rather than mastered by mind."

Locally, various meditation sessions, workshops, and events were organized to mark the occasion. Participants from all walks of life came together to practice mindfulness, promote inner peace, and foster global harmony.

As the world embarks on this new tradition, World Meditation Day is poised to become a powerful catalyst for promoting mental well-being, peace, and harmony across the globe.

TAMPARA LAKE'S FRAGILE ECOSYSTEM UNDER THREAT

Ganjam, Dec 15: Tampara Lake, a picturesque destination in Ganjam district, is facing a grave threat to its biodiversity. The lake, known for its serene landscapes and rich variety of flora and fauna, is struggling to maintain its ecological balance due to unchecked tourism and development.

Located near Chhatrapur, Tampara Lake is a 7km-long waterbody along the Bay of Bengal coastline. The lake's isthmus is covered with a forest of oak, pine, mangrove, banyan trees, and wild shrubs, making it a haven for nature lovers.

However, the growing number of tourists and unchecked construction around the lake are contributing to water contamination. Waste disposal is a common problem, affecting the lake's ecosystem. The lack of proper upkeep and maintenance is also taking a toll on the lake's biodiversity.

Water sports, while providing entertainment, are harming marine life. The noise, smoke, and artificial whirlpools caused by motorboats are threatening the delicate aquatic ecosystem. Migratory birds, which find refuge in Tampara during winter, are also being disturbed by the noise from motorboats.

The water level in Tampara is declining each year due to below-average rainfall in the region. This, combined with pollution, threatens the aquatic species that live in the lagoon, including fish and prawns.

The forest on the other side of the lagoon is also facing threats. Some species of trees, such as oak pine, are nearing extinction. Locals suspect illegal deforestation is also a problem.

Experts warn that if the current trend continues, Tampara Lake's ecosystem may collapse, leading to devastating consequences for the local community and the environment. "It's high time we take action to protect Tampara Lake's biodiversity," said a local environmentalist. "We need to strike a balance between tourism and conservation to ensure the lake's future."

The Odisha government has been urged to take immediate action to protect Tampara Lake's ecosystem. Conservationists are demanding stricter regulations on tourism and development activities around the lake. They are also calling for increased awareness and education among locals and tourists about the importance of preserving the lake's biodiversity.

As the situation continues to deteriorate, it remains to be seen whether the authorities will take the necessary steps to protect Tampara Lake's fragile ecosystem. The fate of this natural wonder hangs in the balance, and it's up to us to ensure its survival.
