Puri, July 19: A day after the millennium’s first Nabakalebra festival of Lord Jagannath commenced here, thousands of devotees had darshan of the new idols of the three deities as their chariots stood in front of Gundicha Temple here Sunday.

As the three colourful chariots, which began their nine-day journey with new idols of LordJagannath, Lord Balabhadra and Devi Subhadra from Srimandir, reached Sri Gundicha Temple, the devotees thronged the venue for darshan on the raths.

After all the three chariots positioned themselves outside Gundicha Temple, the Daitapatis performed a number of rituals including the Mailam, Abakasha and Tadap Lagi by 8:30am and devotees made a beeline for darshan.

The chariots of Subhadra and Lord Jagannath which were stranded at Medical Chhak and Bala Gandi on the Grand Road Saturday resumed the journey after the rituals. Pulling of the Darpadalan chariot of Subhadra began at 9am while the Nandighosh of Lord Jagannath was pulled at 9:20am. Both the cars reached Saradhabali near Gundicha temple at 10:30am.

The chariot of Devi Subadhra reached its destination with the police personnel pulling it with the help of devotees.

Later, the car of Jagannath followed it from Balagandi with the chants of ‘Haribol’ among the devotees. Devotees in large numbers queued up to have a darshan of the deities in front of the Mausima temple.

Early in the morning a minor scuffle ensued among some vendors and security personnel who wanted the vendors to clear the path for the procession. Some volunteers were, meanwhile, beaten up by the vendors for asking them to clear the area.

ESZ Net Over 192 Villages Around Bhitarkanika

KENDRAPARA:The Union Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) has declared 192 villages around Bhitarkanika National Park (BNP) and Gahirmatha Marine Sanctuary in Kendrapara district as eco-sensitive zones (ESZs) to prevent ecological damage caused by developmental activities.

While Bhitarkanika is known as India’s second largest mangrove forest after the Sundarbans in West Bengal, Gahirmatha is the world’s largest rookery of Olive Ridley sea turtles.

Chief Wildlife Warden and Principal Chief Conservator of Forests (PCCF) Dr SS Srivastava on Monday said the new ESZ guidelines announced by the Central Government on June 16 would ensure that the activities around such areas are regulated and managed so as to act as shock absorbers to the protected areas.

“The Centre had issued a draft notification on October 21, 2014 identifying the ESZ covering 192 villages within two kms area from Bhitarkanika and invited suggestions and objections from locals,” he said. Several environmentalists and villagers submitted their suggestions, which were considered by the Government. “The ESZ varies from 560 metres to two kms in width from the boundary of Bhitarkanika and Gahirmatha covering an area of 446.4 square kms. The ESZ status would not hamper daily activities and livelihood of locals as the guidelines would be of a regulatory nature rather than prohibitive,” Srivastava said.

For effective management of the ESZ, the State Government within two years will prepare a zonal master plan after consultation with the locals.

As per the guidelines, activities like commercial mining, setting up saw mills and industries, commercial use of firewood and major hydro-power projects would be prohibited in the ESZ besides tourism activities like operation of aircraft or hot air balloon and discharge of effluents and solid waste in natural water bodies or terrestrial areas.

The activities which would be regulated in the ESZ are felling of trees, commercial use of natural water resources and running hotels and resorts. Ongoing agriculture and horticulture practices by local community, rainwater harvesting, organic farming, adoption of green technology and use of renewable energy sources would be permitted in the ESZ.

Bhitarkanika has 82 species of mangroves and a unique eco-system, criss-crossed by a network of rivers and creeks having more than 1,600 crocodiles. Besides, large number of migratory birds visits the reserve every winter.
