Bhubaneswar: Odisha government has reportedly extended the timeline for completion of Door-to-Door Survey in three districts of the state- Ganjam, Gajapati and Kandhamal- in view of the adverse impact of Cyclone “Arnab”.

According to the Information and Public Relations (I&PR) Department, the recent Cyclone “Arnab” and its consequent impact have severely disrupted normal life in the districts of Ganjam, Gajapati and Kandhamal.

It has been brought to the notice of the Commission that the rainfall and other adverse weather conditions in the aftermath of the cyclone have hampered the ongoing Door-to-Door (D2D) Survey activities, making it difficult to complete the survey within the stipulated timeline.

Taking into consideration the difficulties faced by the field-level functionaries and the need to ensure comprehensive and accurate coverage of all eligible households, the Commission has approved further extension of the survey period beyond the existing deadline of 07.10.2026, for the following periods:

The above extension shall be applicable exclusively to the districts mentioned above. All other instructions issued by the Commission in connection with the Door-to-Door Survey shall remain unchanged, clarified the department.
