Dhenkanal: Works Minister Prafulla Mallick on Sunday said steps are being taken to ensure safety of the people in the flood-affected areas of his home constituency Kamakhyanagar in Dhenkanal district.
Speaking to the media after visiting the flood-hit areas, he said though the main roads in low-lying areas of the blocks and panchayats are submerged in floodwater, there are alternative roads for the people to reach Kamakhyanagar sub-divisional headquarters.
