more villages are getting marooned," Revenue and Disaster Management Minister S N Patro told

mediapersons.

More than 3,000 villages are inundated and about 10 lakh people are encircled by flood water. Bariblock in Jajpur district and Rajnagar, Aul and Rajkanika blocks in Kendrapara district have been

severely hit with no communication links, he said. A senior IAS officer is camping in Bari block to

they need to be evacuated, the minister said, adding floods in the Brahmani river could further

worsen.

could not help reduce the flood fury downstream, the Minister said.

As the flood water entered fresh areas, the Government continued airdropping of food packets with

the help of four choppers. Two more choppers will soon be added in the operation, Special Relief

Commissioner P K Mohapatra said. "More that 1.39 lakh people have already been evacuated. The

Government has asked the district collectors of Kendrapara and Jajpur to shift people from lowlyingareas," he said after a review meeting.

caused by river Baitarani's fury.After four days of flood, road communication to many villages is yet

block is by far the worst flood-affected area of Keonjhar district, with over 60,000 people rendered

homeless.As heavy rain continues to lash the district, many more are being steadily rendered

homeless as the villagers' mud houses are easily damaged in the rain. The villagers can safely be

termed marooned as damaged roads and culverts are making communication with these people next

to impossible.Due to lack of supply of polythene, the hapless flood victims are living in the open and

in their fragile, damaged houses. Tnn Thousands of people of Ghatagaon block area blocked theNH-

Four Orissa Disaster Rapid Action Force (Odraf) teams deployed in Anandapur, Ghasipura andHatadihi blocks are not sufficient to rescue the affected people either. Less than 10% of the flood

e. Harrowing time for rescue, relief operators; CM worriedThe Pioneer,

Monday, 26 September 2011 02:23 PNS | Bhubaneswar

The second spell of floods in the Brahmani and Baitarani systems has become a matter of concern for

the State Government as all efforts to provide relief to the affected people through aerial, water and

land routes proved to be ineffective. So also the rescue operations have become futile due to highcurrent of the flood waters with over 1,114 villages still remaining cut off from the rest of the world

for the fourth day on Sunday.

Though the State Government has now focused on rescue and relief operations, the administration is

passing through a harrowing time in reaching out to the marooned due to the high velocity of the

flood waters, said Revenue and Disaster Management Minister Surjya Narayan Patro.

Evacuation of the marooned people is the prime task before us, he said, adding that so far as many

as 97,000 people were evacuated to safer places in adverse conditions. Over 1 lakh people were being

given cooked food through 260 relief camps, Patro informed the media.

He admitted that though the water levels in all four major rivers were receding, the floods in the

Brahmani and Baitarani systems turned the situation grim. It would continue for another 36 hours as

the flood waters discharged from the Rengali reservoir would pass through the Jajpur and the

Kenerapada districts by late Tuesday.

Patro said ODRAF, NDRF and Fire Service teams were pressed into service for search, rescue and

relief operations with 492 boats. Despite adverse situations and lack of safe surface, air-dropping of

food packets were stepped up by utilising six helicopters of the Indian Air Force and the Navy on

Sunday in the most affected areas of Jajpur, Bhadrakh and Kendrapada districts. Two more

helicopters were expected to join the fleet for air-dropping by Monday, he said, adding that the Chief

Minsiter had already talked to the Defence Minister in this regard.

Giving details of the flood situation, Patro said 10 districts had been affected by the fresh spell of

floods and an estimated 21.70 lakh population belonging to 3,128 villages under 65 Blocks in Angul,

Balasore, Bhadrakh, Deogarah, Dhenkanal, Jajpur, Kendrapada, Keonjhar, Mayurbhanj andSundergarh have been affected.

He said the fresh floods have so far claimed 17 lives with highest six persons from jajpur followed by

4 in Sundargarh and two were reported missing.

As per the report, 12,400 houses were damaged.

Meanwhile, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik who reviewd the flood situation in the afternoon on

Sunday, has directed the Collectors to make all out efforts to reach out to the marooned villages toevacuate the affected families and provide ready-made food packets to the affected families in the

waterlogged areas through air-dropping. As per the direction of the Chief Minister, it has been

decided to provide cooked food to the people taking shelter in safer places till they returned to their

villages.

Water Resources Department Secretary SC Mohapatra said waters in the Subarnarekha, Baitarani,

Brhamani and Budhabalanga were falling .Though the flood waters in Keonjhar and Bhadrakh had

started receding and there was no further danger in the area, the area of Dharmasala, Dasarathpur and

Bari in Jajpur district and Ali, Rajkanika in Kendrapada district would reel under the flood havoc till

Tuesday as the 7,000 cusecs of water discharged from the Rengali reservoir would pass through these

areas. However, since it was decided to open only two of the 24 gates of the Rengali reservoir, theflood situation would ease to some extent. He said there was no danger in the Subarnarekha system as

the river is flowing below the danger mark.

He said at least 27 breaches were reported in the Brahmani and Baitarani systems with the highest of

14 being in Jajpur distirict.

Advance team arrives today. Latest reports said a four-member advance Inter-Ministerial team would

arrive in the State on Monday to assess the damages caused by floods.

According to SRC Pradipta .Kumar .Mohapatra, the sub-group of the central team would consist of

Sunil Kumar Verma, Chief Engineer, Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, Dr MC Diwakar,

Director, Dept of Rural Development, Minsitry of Agriculture and Cooperation, Dr AK Satpathy,

Regional Director, Regional Office Health and Family Welfare, Bhubaneswar and Ambarish Nayak,Superintending Engineer, Mahanadi and Eastern Rivers, CWC.

He said after the arrival of the team at the airport, they would be taken to the present flood affected

areas of Jajpur, Kenrapada and Bhadrakh for an aerial survey. The team is scheduled to get down at

NC College, jajpur for on-the-spot visit to the affected areas in ten- km radius . Later the team would

be flown to see the Bhadrakh and Kendrapada areas, he said.

Mohapatra said the team would be taken to see the flood affected areas of western Odisha districts of

Sambalpur, Subarnapur and Bargarh after being briefed by the officials of the Revenue Department.

He said the second team was likely to reach Bhubaneswar on Wednesday, which would visit the areas

affected during the first spell in the rest of the districts.

Mohapatra said the State Government had already submitted a memorandum to the Centre through aspecial messenger seeking an assistance of Rs 2120 crore to repair the damages caused due to the

floods in the Mahanadi river system. Steps were being taken to prepare another preliminary report on

the flood damages in the second spell of floods for submission to the IMT, he said.

Following torrential rains during the last three days, a record rainfall of 192.2 mm (the highest

rainfall in last 30 years) was recorded in 24 hours on September 22, resulting in rise in flood waters

in the Baitarani and its tributaries flowing above the danger level since Thursday noon.

Thirteen gram panchayats in Anandpur sub-division have been affected by the floods so far. It has

not been possible for the district administration to reach out to the villagers. Sources said the

Baitarani has breached its embankment at Fakirpur and Bancho, as a result waters gushed into 26

villages, submerging houses and damaging property worth lakhs. Bancho, Panchugochia, Sulana,

Ambo, Samana, Habeleswar, Gedema, Sadanga, Saladei, Belabhali, Fakirpur and Mugupur are

among the worst-affected panchayats in Anandpur sub-division. People have fled to other places

with their belongings and cattle. Many are also seen taking shelter on roadsides, school and college

roofs. Relief, drinking water or any kind of help is yet to reach the flood victims. Two villagers in

Belabahali and khuntapada were reported drowned in the flood waters.

As the rain has ceased and water level in the Baitarani is receding, it is expected that situation will

improve in the next 24 hours. Collector DV Swamy, after visiting the flood areas, said he would

monitor the relief work personally. He said, We are facing difficulty in distributing chuda, rice,

polythene and other relief material to the affected villagers as all the areas are flooded and we are not

getting enough boats. But some villagers have been sheltered at Belbahali, Salapada and Anandpurcollege and cooked food is being arranged.
