High Court bench in South Odisha: Ganjam Bar Association members block roads in Berhampur

Members of the Ganjam Bar Association blocked the roads in front of the Berhampur court on August 30 as part of their continuing agitation for the demand of establishment of a permanent bench of the Odisha High Court in the city. They also handed over a memorandum addressed to the Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik at the office of the Revenue Divisional Commissioner (RDC), southern division.
Through the memorandum, they urged the Chief Minister to immediately request the Central government for establishment of a permanent bench of the Odisha High Court in Berhampur. The lawyers of the Ganjam Bar Association also requested the CM to hold a meeting with the representatives of the bar association over the issue.
During their road blockade and demonstration, the agitating lawyers shouted slogans against the Justice C.R.Pal Commission calling for its withdrawal.

This single member judicial commission had been set up by the Odisha government through a notification made in March 2008 to enquire and investigate into the demands for permanent benches of Odisha High Court in South and Western Odisha. It was to furnish its report in six months but till now it has not come up with any interim report also.
The agitating lawyers alleged that in the name of this commission the decision on the demand for establishment of permanent bench of Odisha High Court for south Odisha in Berhampur was being delayed. President of the Ganjam Bar Association Kapileswar Patnaik Sadi said that they were planning to intensify their democratic agitation with support of people, which would also include road blockade and bandh calls.

A senior lawyer of Ganjam Bar Association, P.J.Padhi said hearing by a bench of Odisha High Court in Berhampur had occurred during the British era. According to him on January 4, 1937, then justice of High Court had held circuit court in Berhampur, which hinted that this city was considered suitable for a bench of the High Court for south Odisha even during the British era.

Ganjam Bar Association to intensify stir for permanent High Court bench in South Odisha at Berhampur

Members of Ganjam Bar Association took out a bike rally in Berhampur as part of their plan to intensify their continuing stir for the demand of establishment of a permanent bench of Odisha High Court for South Odisha in Berhampur city.
All senior lawyers of the bar association, including its past office bearers led this bike rally. The bike rally started from the Berhampur court premises and traveled around the city to re-strengthen public support for the demand for establishment of High Court bench. President of the Ganjam Bar Association Kapileswar Patnaik said this rally was aimed at increasing public awareness regarding this genuine demand.
The lawyers of the Ganjam Bar Association claimed that Berhampur, as per the norms put forward by Jaswant Singh Commission report regarding establishment of High Court benches, was the most suitable place for a permanent bench of Odisha High Court. “As per the Yashwant Singh Commission report a permanent bench of the High Court should be established in revenue divisional headquarters and Berhampur and Sambalpur are divisional headquarters. Moreover Berhampur has all infrastructural facilities for proper functioning of a bench of the High Court,” said senior lawyers of the Bar Association.
Conspiracy
President of Ganjam Bar Association came down sharply on this mushrooming demand for establishment of demand for High Court bench from different places of south Odisha. “I feel the sudden mushrooming of such demands from different places may be a conspiracy to weaken the issue of establishment of High Court benches in different revenue divisions of the State,” Mr. Patnaik said.

As per the Ganjam Bar Association, their demand for establishment of permanent bench of Odisha High Court in Berhampur had started in 1985 and their demand was older than that of Sambalpur Bar Association of western Odisha. Although during past decades there were no such demands for establishment of High Court benches in any other part of south Odisha, all of a sudden such demands have started to crop up, which makes us smell something fishy, said Mr Patnaik.

BERHAMPUR UNIVERSITY (BU) TO HOLD MEMORIAL LECTURES FOR SOUTH ODISHA LUMINARIES

The Berhampur University (BU) has decided to conduct a series of memorial lectures in the days ahead in memory of great luminaries and sons of southern Odisha, who have had immense contributions in different fields and disciplines such as education, art and culture, freedom struggle and language and literature for an overall growth and development of this region.

The decision was taken by the University Syndicate at its meeting held on Monday under the chairmanship of Vice-Chancellor Prof Deepak Behera. This was the first syndicate meeting after Prof Behera took over as the Vice-Chancellor. On the other hand, tension prevailed in the university campus on Monday after the removal of a poster by some miscreants which was displayed by a student group welcoming freshers to the campus. A similar incident had also taken place on Friday night when a welcome poster for new entrants fixed another student group was removed by some miscreants, reportedly the rival group, for which a complaint has been lodged at the Bhanja Vihar police outpost.
On Sunday night, a Linguistics student, Bhavanikanta Sahu, had pated the poster on the wall which was burnt by some miscreants of rival group giving rise to tension in the campus. While some faculty members cite the forthcoming students’ union elections as the reason for such mischief so as to remain in limelight, another group of faculty members and staff including local intellectuals, however, feel that some elements who were close to the previous administrative regime are trying to destabilise the current administration to settle scores for their vested interests.

According to sources, bills worth lakhs of rupees spent under different heads such as repair and renovation, construction and purchases for university auditorium, guesthouse and VC’s quarter, etc., during the previous regime without following standard accounts procedure are being pushed to the present regime for post-facto approval but are reportedly being disapproved. There is a public perception that such accounts should be checked through AG audit. Source: The Pioneer

Airports Authority of India (AAI) team visits sites for Berhampur Airport


Source: The Sambad
A four-member team of the Airports Authority of India (AAI) arrived in the state to carry out a feasibility study for the proposed low-cost airport in Berhampur.  The team surveyed Rangeilunda and Ramchandrapur on the Berhampur-Gopalpur road to understand the local conditions for the possible air traffic movement.
The AAI team first visited the existing Rangeilunda airstrip on Berhampur University campus. It may be noted that the airstrip is active since past several decades. The airstrip spread over 40 acres of land was built during the British era during the World War II. It is now maintained by the State Public Works Department. At Rangeilunda airstrip, the AAI team held discussion with Gopalpur MLA Pradeep Panigrahy, executive engineer of public works department and other district officials. They studied whether the Rangeilunda airstrip could be developed into the proposed low-cost airport by adding up extra land to its south and west directions, said Mr. Panigrahy. The Gopalpur MLA said once the AAI finalises the site, the State government would provide all possible assistance for establishment of the airport near Berhampur. 
Later, the team reached Ramchandrapur to inspect around 300 acres of land that has been earmarked for the proposed low-cost airport. Speaking to newsmen, members of the AAI team said they would assess the cost-benefit ratio as well as feasibility of both sites and send their report to their authorities for the final decision.
“We have studied every detail of the situation at both the places, including the existing Rangeilunda airstrip and Ramchandrapur village, nearby. We will submit our feasibility report to the AAI for a final decision,” said the joint general manager (planning) of AAI P.K. Mahapatra, who led the team.
The PWD executive engineer, who is in-charge of the Rangeilunda airstrip, said: “The length of the present runway is 895 meters, which is insufficient for take-off and landing of commercial aircraft. The AAI is insisting on 3,500m long and 500m wide runway. There are now 150 acres of land at Rangeilunda airstrip. We can acquire another 200 acres in the nearby areas as required by the AAI for opening a small airport.’’
It may be noted that the Central government has taken a decision for setting up 51 low-cost airports in Tier-II and Tier-III cities in Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand, Bihar, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Maharashtra. Three of them will be set up in the State in places like Berhampur, Rourkela, and Keonjhar. The four-member AAI team will also visit the two other sites for the proposed low-cost airports in the State. Sources: The Hindu, The Pioneer & The Telegraph

Ray of hope for lighthouses in Odisha


Gopalpur-on-Sea (Berhampur)
If you love spending time on the beach, wait for a spate of exciting activities in the near future. The directorate of Lighthouses and Lightships, Mumbai, has decided to include three heritage lighthouses of Odisha to make them more attractive with beautiful landscape designs, conservation work, development of amenities and cafeterias. Three lighthouses at Gopalpur, Chandrabhaga and Paradip port will be developed as tourist destinations and have additional recreational avenues for which Union tourism ministry will be spending money. The shipping ministry has decided to develop 15 such heritage lighthouses across the coast of India.
Gopalpur, the famous beachfront town near Berhampur city in Ganjam district of Odisha is also a well-known tourist destination. “In the past, we have climbed on the top of the lighthouse, and seen the beautiful Bay of Bengal and the shadow of it on the beach. With the proposal from the shipping ministry to make it more attractive, a lot of tourists will definitely avail the opportunity to explore the British-era wonder,’’ said Manas Panigrahi of Berhampur city, which is also known for its silk saris.
Gopalpur lighthouse came into existence in 1871 for assisting coastal shipping between Rangoon and Coromandal coast ports. The steamer service to Rangoon also touched Gopalpur port in the past. Local residents said due to erosion of the coast in 1943, the lighthouse got heavily damaged and stopped functioning. Later, it remained unused due to World War II. In 1948, a new gas light inside a 500mm lantern was established on a hillock about 1km north from the coast. The present lighthouse was constructed on December 15, 1967.
Tour operator Srikant Mishra from Bhubaneswar is happy that the Centre has considered the renovation and development of the heritage lighthouse. “We often get tourists who want to take beach tourism very seriously and also explore the lighthouses, but there is no amenities for them. The project will help them to spend quality time there. The destinations will be helpful for the niche tourists,” he added.
Some of the major lighthouses included in the programme are the ones at Kanhoji Angre in Mumbai, Kanyakumari, Rameswaram, Mahabalipuram, Chennai, Vishakhapatnam, Aguado, Dwarka and Minicoy. Source: The Telegraph

‘LIKE YOU CAN’T GIVE UP JAGANNATH, WE CAN’T NIYAMGIRI’

Can you give up your Lord Jagannath? Will you stop worshipping your deity? If you can’t, how do you think we will surrender our God Niyam Raja and His abode Niyamgiri to Vedanta?” asked Dambru Majhi, a villager of Kunakadu in Kalahandi district in South Odisha, where the fourth Palli Sabha out of the scheduled twelve was held  in the presence of 21 voters out 22 in  the village.
HOLY HILL NIYAMGIRI IN SOUTH ODISHA 
Two out of the total present were women. Hundreds of Dongaria Kandh women and men of different other villages of Kalahandi and Rayagada districts were present too. Dambru compared his God Niyamraja with the Jagannath and pointed his question to the independent observer PK Jena, who was appointed by the Supreme Court to oversee the process of the meeting in five villages of Kalahandi district in South Odisha.
“We will die like Renda Majhi and Birsha Munda to protect our God and land,” he said valiantly.All the participants of the Palli Sabha presented their statement one by one. The same opposition to the mining plan resonated in the air. “The Government has deprived us of our basic rights to livelihood, health and education. Our source of living is Niyamgiri. There is no hospital here. Niyamgiri heals our diseases by providing us herbs and roots. It gives us food and water. So, how can we allow you to ruin that?”the villagers asked.
Regarding the allotment of land under Forest Right Act (FRA)– 2006, the villagers said that the administration has allotted only one or two decimals of land to some of the households. “We have not placed any claim in the Palli Sabha till now. How did the administration give the entitlement? they asked and claimed that the officials have generated false claims to give small pieces of lands to some villagers to befool them. “We think our signatures have been forged,” they added.

Like in previous Palli Sabha held in the village Tadijhola on July 23 last, the villagers here also demanded a copy of the proceeding of the meeting before signing it. “All the villagers are opposing mining. They claimed that Niyamgiri is source of their lives,” said the observer to media.  “The same feelings prevail in all the villages of Niyamgiri hills and we hope the villages will oppose the mining proposal,” said Green Kalahandi president Siddhartha Naik.

Were Ganjem in Goa and Ganjam in Odisha linked in ancient times?

 Was the Devi of Ganjem in Goa inspired by Tara-Tarini of Ganjam, Odisha?
A professor in Goa University's history department, Pratima Kamat has posed this question after her ethnoarchaeological research into the 'Boat Deities' of the Mhadei River Valley of the Satari and Sanguem talukas of Goa (Tarini and Tar-Vir: The Unique Boat Deities of Goa, 2008) revealed what she terms as exciting new linkages between Goa and Odisha.


Kamat points out that scholars have written about Goa's cultural links with Bengal, especially about the migration of the Gaud Saraswat Brahmins to Goa, but not much about the maritime traditions and heritage with the state's links to Odisha. "Certain cultural similarities are visible in the ethnographical heritage of the two maritime societies, Goan and Odia, located on opposite coasts of the Indian peninsula etched in the early medieval times that are worthy of more intensive research," Kamat states in her study.
Ganjem was a last port of call along the River Mandovi for centuries, but its past is fading with time.
"Unique votive as well as abandoned sculptures of the Devi-in-a-boat are located in the Satari and Sanguem talukas of Goa. These may be compared with a similar Devi-in-a-boat found in some parts of coastal Odisha," says Kamat.a
In addition to iconographical evidence, she points to ethnographical comparisons between the worship of Tara-Tarini/Tara in places like Ganjam, Ghatgaon and Ratnagiri in Odisha, and the votive traditions associated with the Devi-in-a-boat as 'Tarini' in the Satari and Sanguem talukas of Goa.
Kamat draws similarities between the boat festival of Sanquelim, another riverine port like Ganjem, with the Boita Bandana and Bali Yatra of Cuttack, Odisha.
The Goan river, Mhadei and its tributaries are hosts to the Devi-in-a-boat and shaped the region's cultural history as much as River Mahanadi influenced Odisha.
Both states also witnessed the influence of Buddhism and Jainism; have a votive tradition of supplicating the Saptamatrika; enjoy a Shaktipitha status; possess similar maritime traditions, Kamat states in her study.
Referring to the culinary aspect, the Goan patoli and its Oriya country cousin, the endura pitha, Kamat says they suggest another reason to support her research. Source: ToI

College in South Odisha that has never seen a student pass out

By: Hrusikesh Mohanty
Berhampur: It's a college where no student has passed since its inception. The state government-run junior science college at Jeerango in Gajapati district retained its dubious distinction with the nil result in Plus II (science) examination this year too.
As many as 20 out of 27 students took the examination this year. No student of the college has passed in last five years since its first batch sat the examination in 2009, official sources said.
The college was established in 2007 with Central government funds to facilitate education of mostly Scheduled Tribe (ST) and Scheduled Caste (SC) children. Altogether 14 students had taken the exam in 2009 (first batch). While five students had appeared in the subsequent year, four and six students took the exam in 2011 and 2012, respectively, sources said.
College authorities attributed the nil result to lack of permanent staff. Only two lecturers (botany and mathematics) from Khallikote junior college, Berhampur, teach the students three days a week while one Odia lecturer from SKCG College, Paralakhemundi, is the in charge principal. "There are no teachers to teach chemistry, physics, zoology and English," said in charge principal KC Padhy.
Though there are several rooms in the college, but it is going without a laboratory, power and telephone. "We have written letters for appointment of permanent faculties in the college to higher education department," said collector (Gajapati) Basudev Bahinipati.
"I have also raised the issue at principals' conferences. I also apprised officers of higher education department of the lacunae after becoming in-charge principal in February," said Padhy. The collector has suggested the government to hand over the college to SC & ST Development Department. "As most of the students are from SC and ST communities, it is better to hand over the college to the department concerned," Bahinipati said. ToI

A shameful story. The Principal, other lecturers should not defend themselves. Despite the shortcomings if they had treated the students as if their own child the results would have been different. All other colleges where students are coming out successful are having some or the other problem, still they are able to come out successful. On the other hand I am not arguing that facilities should not be provided to the college.

kamal (Delhi) replies to Mahendra Kumar Nayak17 mins ago
Instead of shooting the principal of the college why not the so called intelligentsia of Odisha asking for better facilities and staff for this college from the state government, which has always been showing discrimination towards the colleges of South Odisha. The people of the State must think, is it really possible to ensure good result with only two lecturers in hand? Are the colleges in Bhubaneswar performing with having same type of problems? It is difficult to understand that what type of plight the students of the backward districts of south Odisha are facing? therefore, intelligentsia of the state should force the state govt. to give more attention, staff and facilities to the colleges in the backward districts of south Odisha instead of bashing the principal and temporary staff of the college.

HOW SU-JOK THERAPY HELPS IN CURING NECK PAIN? By: Dr. R. P. Sahu


Neck pain or a stiff neck is a common problem now days and generally there is nothing to worry about.  The pain and stiffness usually gets better after a few days of home treatment and is not a sign of a more serious neck problem or underlying condition.

You can get a painful or stiff neck if you sleep in an awkward position; use a computer keyboard for a prolonged period of time.
Anxiety and stress can also sometimes cause tension in your neck muscles, which can lead to pain in your neck.
Treatment of neck pain at home
Whatever the cause of neck pain or a stiff neck, generally doctors advice to carry on with your normal daily activities and to keep active.
What other treatments one can try for neck pain at home?
  • Try holding a hot water bottle or heat pack to your neck - this can help reduce the pain and any muscle spasms.
  • Sleep on a low, firm pillow at night - avoid using two pillows because it may force your neck to bend unnaturally.
  • Check your posture - bad posture can aggravate the pain and it may have caused it in the first place. Find out how to sit correctly.
  •  Avoid driving until the pain and stiffness have gone - it may prevent you turning your head to view traffic.
  • If your neck is stiff or twisted, try some simple neck exercises - gently tense your neck muscles as you tilt your head up and down and from side to side, and as you carefully twist your neck from left to right. These exercises will help strengthen your neck muscles and improve your range of movement.

  • Nerve or bone problems in the neck 
  • Sometimes, neck pain is caused by the 'wear and tear' that occurs to the bones and joints in your neck. This is a type of arthritis called cervical spondylosis.
Cervical spondylosis occurs naturally with age. It does not always cause symptoms, although in some people the bone changes can cause neck stiffness. Nearby nerves can also be squashed, resulting in pain that radiates from the arms, pins and needles and numbness in the hands and legs.
The following picture shows the area where the problem is and on which area we should give treatment.
 
To find out the exactly curing point on must use a diagnostic stick provided it should not be sharp (match stick, ball pen etc.) as shown in picture. Diagnostic stick is as :
The assumed area must be pressed upon with equal force without too much of strength. Cure point is always highly painful. No sooner you find the painful point, you can continue massage of the point by rotating the stick clockwise and anti clockwise, while pressing against the point somewhat harder. The cure point must be fully massaged out till residual pain disappears and gets replaced with a feeling of warmth in it. This process we can do 2 to 3 time a day.
After the above process for continue stimulation we will apply live seeds like Methi, Mug ….. on those affected area asshown in the following picture.

Treatment with Su jok is easy, cheap and friendly. One can try this in addition to normal medical care.
