BALASORE: Industrial houses rendered a yeoman service during recent floods in the district.

Thirty-five-year-old Budhini Singh and her 12- year-old daughter Kuni of Jhinkiria village can never forget a staffer of Balasore Alloys (BA), a leading Ferro Alloys company of Orissa.

While the both were marooned and waiting for help, this officer reached out and provided them food and clothes. Lending a helping hand, this year, many industrial houses of Balasore have come forward to the rescue of flood-victims.

Balasore Alloys reached first before the district administration could reach them.

�We are thankful to the industries who came forward responding to our call,� Collector Alekh Padhiary told in a press Conference.
