Minor Was Alone At Home In Odisha's Balasore. Neighbour Came And Raped Her
A minor girl in Odisha's Balasore district was allegedly raped by her neighbour when she was alone at home. The accused, a 47-year-old man, was arrested after the girl confided in her family after days of silence. The incident, which occurred on July 20, was reported to the police two days later, following which an action was taken. According to the complaint filed at the Amarda Road police outpost, the accused, identified as Karunakar Behera, entered the house in the absence of the minor girl's family and allegedly raped her. Shaken by the incident, the girl remained silent for two days before coming out to her family and sharing the ordeal. The police registered a case under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. The accused, Behera, has been arrested and is currently under police custody for interrogation. He will be produced in court today. Police confirmed that the investigation is ongoing, and the survivor has been sent for medical examination. The incident has triggered public outrage in the locality, with residents demanding strict action against the accused. Odisha is increasingly reporting cases of sexual assault. In another case, a minor was allegedly kidnapped and gang-raped by three men while returning from a birthday party on Sunday (July 20). She managed to escape but was raped again by a truck driver she encountered while fleeing. All four accused have been arrested. Earlier this month, on July 3, a girl was allegedly kidnapped, taken to a lodge and gang-raped by her hockey coach, Sarthak, and two of his associates, Sandip and Sagar, in Jajpur district.

H5N1 avian influenza detected in Odisha's Puri dist; govt culls over 6,700 birds
Bhubaneswar: A bird flu outbreak has been confirmed in a poultry farm in Odisha's Puri district, prompting the state government to launch emergency containment measures, including mass culling of over 6,700 birds, a senior official said on Sunday. The state government resorted to mass culling of the birds after the National Institute of High Security Animal Diseases (NIHSAD), Bhopal, confirmed that samples collected from Bada Ankula village in Delanga block of the district tested positive for the H5N1 avian influenza virus, he added. Over 6,700 birds were culled on Saturday and Sunday following standard operating procedure (SOP) lay down by the Centre, he said. Sarat Kumar Behera, chief district veterinary officer (CDVO), Puri, informed that five rapid response teams (RRTs) along with health teams have been deployed in the area where bird flu cases were detected. "We have completely restricted the movement of live birds in and out of the infected zone," he said. After completing culling within a 1-km radius of the village, samples from another five villages have been collected to test for the virus, Behera said. Sources said the village had witnessed unusual poultry deaths over the past week, but the outbreak was officially confirmed only after villagers raised concerns and officials collected samples on July 9. Meanwhile, Fisheries and Animal Resources Development Minister Gokulananda Mallik visited the bird flu infected area to take stock of containment measures taken to prevent further spread of the virus.
