Images of the state of Odisha captured on the current day.

As the sun rose over the city of Cuttack, the Taladanda canal waters glistened in the morning light. However, the picturesque scene was marred by an unfortunate sight - heaps of garbage floating on the surface of the recently renovated canal. It was a stark reminder of the ongoing battle against pollution and the need for effective waste management.

Meanwhile, in the bustling city of Bhubaneswar, the ‘Aaina’ organisation was observing Menstrual Hygiene Day at a local hotel. The event aimed to raise awareness and break the stigma surrounding menstrual health, an issue that is often overlooked in our society. The attendees listened intently as experts shared valuable insights and advice on maintaining proper menstrual hygiene.

Back in Cuttack, near the popular Bali Yatra ground, stood the concrete steps that led down to the Mahanadi river. These steps had been constructed to provide easy access to the riverbank for the locals. However, they had collapsed several months ago, and despite promises of repair, they still remained in a state of disrepair. The lack of action was a cause for concern among the residents who relied on these steps for their daily activities.

As we reflect on these events, it is evident that there is still much work to be done in our communities. From tackling pollution to promoting proper hygiene, it is our collective responsibility to create a better and healthier environment for ourselves and future generations. Let us hope that these issues are addressed soon, and we can see a positive change in our surroundings.
