5.34% voters left unmapped in Odisha’s electoral roll revision process
During the review, election officials informed that Odisha had around 3.33 crore voters before the commencement of the SIR exercise.
The Odisha vigilance sleuths were stunned to recover wads of high-value currency notes amounting to Rs 1.12 crore from the Bhubaneswar house of the gynecology specialist doctor during a raid, said officials on Thursday.
This is said to be the highest seizure and recovery of cash in the vigilance’s anti-corruption raids.

The seizure of the cash was a chance-recovery after Dr Sukant Jena, gynaecology specialist posted at Charichakk Community Health Centre (CHC) was trapped today for demanding and accepting Rs 8,000 bribe from a complainant for caesarian operation. After the doctor was caught red handed receiving the bribe, his house at Bhubaneswar was searched, leading to the recovery of a huge sum of currency notes, said officials. Details are awaited.
