Bolangir: With the onset of Sun in the west heralding the end of day, in a vehicle (old jeep) ,loaded with cut vegetables, which includes watermelon, Cucumber ,raw banana, cabbages, Biscuits and cake ,moves out from Bolangir Municipality ,to different area of the town to feed stray cattle and dogs.

We have been doing it since the day of lockdown and cattle have become accustomed to our vehicle and they would  surround our vehicle and only after eating the vegetables, they would leave the place.

In the morning, we arrange vegetables from different sources for these animals including daily market and after collection we prepare them and kept ready by cutting into pieces.

We cover around 20 points in different areas of town and it became 10 pm in the night when we return home says Bhakta Das ,a municipality staff, looking in to this issues.

While the cattle are somewhat disciplined, the street dogs are little smarter.

While a few would eat the biscuits ,cake offered to them ,rest would wait for few minutes for departure of the team to left from that place so that they could also eat peacefully .Besides this there would also a little fight among themselves to who first and over the territory ( area)

"In view of high temperature in the day we start the operation to feed the stray cattle and dogs after the sunset. 

As per the government rules, we spend 5000 per day and we feed them  different vegetables, bread and biscuits .Besides this, to meet the drinking water need of animals, we have also kept a pot filled with water by the side of Jalchatra opened by Bolangir Municipality to take care of thirsty people in the Summer, says Executive officer of Bolangir Municipality Bipin Deep  to this correspondent.

Balangir, Nov 24 (LocalWire): For the second time thick fog enveloped Balangir town with visibility reduced to 30-50meters in the morning.

With the sun engulfed in dense fog till 7.45 a.m. people enjoyed a lazy Sunday although the ones who had to brave the roads had a daunting task.

Vehicles had their parking lights on and there was chaos with horns blowing and traffic moving at a snail’s pace.

The dense fog could be harmful for people as dust particles and other suspended pollutants in the atmosphere that affects the respiratory organs, explained a doctor.

But farmers were happy with the moist cover as the fog during winter helps crops like green gram, Kulthi and other vegetables to grow on residue moisture.
