It seems of late, Rivers in Odisha are getting attention!There was also another news in The New Indian Express regarding a District Collector's notice to Industries to not to draw water from rivers this summer. He has constituted a committee headed by a DSP to monitor this order! While these are welcome initiative, we fail to comprehend, why they always come as 'reactions'!
