Need To Install Automated Weather System Device At Bargarh And Jharsuguda ... on 4 May, 2016
Sixteenth Loksabha an> Title: Need to install automated weather system device at Bargarh and Jharsuguda districts in Odisha.
DR. PRABHAS KUMAR SINGH (BARGARH): Madam Speaker, I thank you for giving me an opportunity to raise an important matter relating to my parliamentary constituency, Bargarh. It consists of two districts – Bargarh and Jharsuguda. The majority of the population in my constituency is engaged in agriculture. There are few fishermen also and I will be speaking for them.
There is no weather warning system or device to know the weather conditions during rainy season and during other periods of time. As a result, crops of farmers are getting lost and the fishermen are dying while they are out in the sea or river for fishing. So, I would like to request the hon. Minister for Earth Sciences to instal two weather warning devices – one each in Bargarh and Jharsuguda – so that the people can know the weather condition in advance. Bargarh is the rice bowl of Odisha.
Madam, since it is a very small demand, I would impress upon, through you, the hon. Minister to install immediately the weather system devices, one each in Bagarh and Jharsuguda.
Thank you.
HON. SPEAKER: Shri Bhairon Prasad Mishra is permitted to associate with the issue raised by Dr. Prabhas Kumar Singh.
