Speaking at the State Disaster Preparedness Day function under the theme 'Mainstreaming persons with disabilities in disaster risk reduction practices,' revenue minister Surya Narayan Patro said, "Though we could manage to tackle the disasters well, but still we need more preparedness in the coming days. We have to make the preparations more alert to make it a disaster resilient state."
