The country's poorest State, Orissa, is getting poorer, owing to the natural calamities striking it's zone almost every year. The State's geographical location and geo-climatic conditions make it one of the most vulnerable zones for frequent natural disasters, pointed Special Relief Commissioner (SRC) Nikunja Kishore Sundaray.
He said more than 80 per cent of the geographical area and 90 per cent of the people are vulnerable to one or more types of disasters. Over 60 per cent people living below the poverty line (BPL) face the brunt of calamities and their economic conditions have been deteriorating rapidly.
During the last 16 years, the State has suffered a staggering financial loss of Rs 20,000 crore. Since 1995-96 to 2007-08, the loss was Rs 17,385 crore, Sundaray said.
Due to the Super Cyclone of 1999, the State became poorer by Rs 6,243 crore, he revealed. This year's devastating floods have cost the State Rs 2,500 crore, according to a preliminary survey. And after the final assessment, the loss would rise further, said an analyst of flood damage.
Cyclonic disturbances are also relatively high on the Orissa coast in comparison to West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, he said, adding that this coast is twice more vulnerable compared to other eastern States. Orissa is one of the States worst affected by flood, he said, adding that Orissa's 3.34 million hectares of land is flood-prone.
Apart from storms and severe cyclones, the Orissa coast is also prone to tsunami, while the reservoirs of the Hirakud and Rengali dams are in the Earthquake Zone-III.
In this backdrop, the SRC has raised the issue of reviewing the Calamity Relief Fund (CRF) kitty and lowering the ratio of the State's share of 25 per cent to the CRF. It may be mentioned that the State Government is now preparing to present a memorandum to the Thirteenth Finance Commission
