Bhubaneswar: Keeping the people’s needs during cyclone, the Odisha government has decided to come up with 26 multi-purpose buildings in Khuda district.
According to sources, the buildings will primarily serve as cyclone shelter for the people who would be rendered homeless during the natural calamity. In normal time, those can be used as Kalyan Mandap to host social functions besides meetings and congregation.
