KENDRAPARA: Unstable roof and absence of basic facilities are among the myriad problems plaguing many multipurpose cyclone shelters in the coastal district of Kendrapara as cyclone Dana approaches.
Sixty-year-old Jiban Behera, a native of Manjarajpur village under Rajnagar block, is worried since the district administration has decided to move the villagers to a cyclone shelter which is in a decaying state. “The state government built a cyclone shelter in Mangarajpur village in 2000 after the 1999 super cyclone. Its crumbing state makes us nervous,” he added.
