Odisha CM announces Rs 1,000 crore package for flood-hit areas

There was a big flood in Odisha, a part of India, because it rained very heavily.

This was the second time the state was hit by floods.

Almost one million people — nearly 940,000 — were affected by the water.

The leader of Odisha, Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi, announced a plan to help them.

The government will give 1,000 crore rupees for relief.

Farmers will get money for their damaged crops and new seeds to plant again.

Broken water pumps that water the fields will be repaired, and people who lost their jobs will get help.

Rescue teams and fire fighters were sent to keep people safe.

The leader said more money could be given later if it is needed.
