Odisha govt issues heatwave advisory for pension disbursal
Intense heatwave prompts Odisha government to prioritize safety for Madhu Babu Pension Yojana beneficiaries. District collectors are directed to ensure adequate drinking water, ORS, and first-aid at disbursement centers. Doorstep delivery for the elderly and infirm is also mandated for the May 15th payout to mitigate health risks from scorching temperatures and high humidity.
