Before Cyclone Radio Sanskar 91.2 FM is normally operating 24 hours a day, hence during the disastrous situation in Odisha, in particular Jagatsinghpur district it worked relentlessly for the people. The CR Station was entrusted by the district Collectorate for time to time awareness of the general public of the district about the cyclone so as to make them self prepared for worst situation. The public were also provided with the information about the nearest shelter points where they can ensure safety of their lives. The District Collector appealed to the general public time and again to evacuate unsafe houses with drinking water and food materials, if possible. They were also advised to untie the livestocks or to make them free to enable them to save themselves. The State Government has cancelled the Dushera Puja vacations of all the Govt. employees of each and every department and ordered them to be alert. Listeners’ clubs had been formed in 51 villages of Raghunathpur, Jagatsinghpur, Balikuda blocks by our organization which has proven to be our strength and provided great support in such situation.

The consequences of Phailin include power supply cut off, no communication, ravaged houses, etc. along with few man and livestock casualties. Hence, with no power supply the CR Station remained non functional still 3 days. Still, the staffs find a way to help the public employing the members of Listeners’ club. They managed to reach them and get actively involved in the relief works. The CRS building has also provided shelter to some people. The district administrative officials were supplied with necessary information about people in need of relief assistance immediately. As expected, Phailin effects were terribly disastrous, but not like the Super Cyclone of 1999 in the district. Still the cyclone left Jagatsinghpur as well as the state of Odisha with a very bitter experience.
