Buyers in Odisha were severely
panicked due to announcement of possible cyclonic storm ‘Hudhud’. The retailers
in Odisha already grabbed more than 800 tons of Potato yesterday. It is already
underneath the supply of potatoes from West Bengal govt. to Odisha; meanwhile
the earlier precautions of keeping food materials emerged trauma among poor
people in Odisha.
Before the declaration and
notice to district collectors to store very essential households & food
items in district headquarters, immoral businesspersons concealed a lot of essentials
such as potato, flattened rice (chuda), jaggery, candles, kerosene etc. There
is no clue or information about such activities to district collectors, whereas
the retailers are selling them in high price.
It has been seen in Ganjam
district’s several towns where retailers are selling potatoes more than 35rs per
kilo. And buyers are panic about other things too. It is already warned to the
petrol pump owners and supervisors to keep excess fuel which is surely essential
after the possible cyclonic storm. However, they are selling in huge quantity
without any limit to the buyers. They must realize the last years’ Phailin consequence
problems and keep in mind should do business along with.
As per the recent climatic information
by IMD, most of the coastal areas of Odisha will be cloudy and rainfall from 10th
October onwards. On 11th and 12th of October it may rain
in north Odisha and south Odisha’s Ganjam, Gajapati, Koraput, Malkangiri and its
adjacent areas. After getting the clear image of cyclone, the department will
inform Hudhud's trailing & movement report in every 3hr to district headquarter
and via media too.
