Rayagada: After visiting the flood affected areas in Kalyansingpur block in the district today, Union Minister Jual Oram lashed out at the Odisha government for its alleged failure in carrying out relief operations properly.

"We will identify all the affected people and ensure they get relief soon," the union minister added.
Oram, on Thursday, visited several flood affected villages in Kalyansingpur block such as Kumbharguda, Karpa, Panas Padar, Kadambadwara Sahi and Sanabamna Sahi.
