Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Monday reiterated that ensuring the safety of people affected by floods and providing them with necessary assistance as soon as possible is the state government's top priority.

The Chief Minister made the remarks after visiting various affected villages in the flood‑hit districts of Jajpur and Bhadrak with other senior ministers and officials. CM Majhi, instead of travelling by helicopter, visited the flood‑hit areas by motorcycle and boat to take stock of the situation firsthand.
