Development, Govt. of India under JNNURM Scheme in their CSMC meeting held
on 24-04-2009 for Rs.7182.00 Lakhs, out of which central share as ACA is capped

For facilitating the award of contracts, the entire project is divided into eight

months as per the maximum permissible time limit stipulated under JnNURM
guidelines. The total agreement value of the project divided into these eight
packages is Rs. 96.08 crore. All contracts were awarded between June-July 2012.
For several reasons as highlighted below, there has been delay in project

The status and the rate of progress of the project was a matter of concern
for authorities in Department of Water Resources, the District Administration and
State Administration particularly in the context of ensuing Nabakalebar of Lord
Jagannath during July, 2015. The Storm Water Drainage System of Puri Town
under JnNURM had been completed for a length of 35988 m out of total drain length
of 77661 m (i.e. 46 %) by end of August 2014.
Action taken in view of Nabakalebara 2015
Drainage problem being a vulnerable issue in the context of Nabakalebara
2015, Principal Secretary, DoWR instructed the Engineer-in-Chief, Water
Resources to look in to the matter and do the needful to expedite the progress and
ensure completion of most essential project components including missing links and
outfalls for safe drainage of Puri Town before Nabakalebara 2015. As per
proceedings of the review meeting held on 16.08.2014 under the Chairmanship of
the Chief Secretary, Odisha, it was decided in view of the upcoming Nabakalebar-
2015 that construction of 18 kms of drain is to be completed on priority basis so as
to ensure safe drainage such that drainage issue shall not be a problem for the
devotees and pilgrims during Nabakalebar. Besides, an additional length of 2.00km
(approx.) was to be taken up as per requirement of district administration in
connection with Nabakalebar 2015.
Review/Monitoring of progress, Inspection of work and Action suggested
Weekly Nabakalebara Co-ordination Meeting is held regularly at Puri every
Monday by the Collector, Puri. Besides reviewing progress of the project, the
issues relating to bottlenecks like encroachment eviction, shifting of service
utilities and other issues are discussed and sorted out on weekly basis.
Besides, RDC, Central Division has undertaken several field visits and review
meetings to expedite the progress of work.
The Collector, Puri & Principal Secretary, H & UD have taken steps to get
approval from the railway to construct the drain through their area in Zone II.
Monitoring and evaluation of the progress of the project were streamlined.
Besides review by the Collector, Puri every Monday, Chief Engineer and
Superintending Engineer, Executive Engineer have taken up intensive review
on daily basis with concerned field staffs and contractors to sort out bottlenecks.
Weekly Review Meeting is held regularly in Rajiv Bhawan every Saturday by
the EIC-cum-Special Secretary, DOWR. Daily Progress Report was furnished
by the Executive Engineer for appraisal of the Principal Secretary, DOWR.
Regular visits by the Principal Secretary, DOWR to Puri along with EIC-cum-

progress of drainage works at regular interval.
The DC-cum-ACS regularly visits Puri for review of drainage works.
The Chief Secretary, Odisha frequently visits sites and holds review meetings

Major Decisions taken by different officials for timely completion of work
A total length of 1268 m drain was withdrawn in two occasions i.e. 637 m and
631 m from the scope of the agency engaged in Zone-I Primary Drain as per
clause 2 (b) (iii) under conditions of contract and awarded to OCC ltd. in two
different packages to complete the work before Nabakalebara 2015.
A total length of 2778 m drain was withdrawn in three occasions i.e. 1470 m,
678 m and 630 m from the scope of the agency engaged in Zone-V Primary &
Secondary Drain as per clause 2 (b) (iii) under conditions of contract and
awarded to three agencies including OCC ltd. to complete the work before
Nabakalebara 2015.
As per instruction of the Principal Secretary, DOWR, the head quarter of
Superintending Engineer, Drainage Circle, Cuttack was fixed in Puri with effect
from February 2015 for close monitoring and timely completion of the work.
A length of 1215 m was decided to be constructed as outfall drain towards
Samangara village as the villagers protested to carry out the construction of
outfall drain near Cashew factory. In spite of repeated attempts, the outfall drain
could not be completed due to some unreasonable demands by the villagers.
As decided, the work will be taken up after Nabakalebara festival.
As decided, a new drain was to be constructed from Hospital square to Musa
River for early discharge of storm water from Medical Square. But, the same could
not be taken up as it was apprehended that the work might not be completed in
time.
