Express News Service Last Updated : 26 Sep 2011 11:27:18 AM IST

JAJPUR: There is no respite for floodhit people of Jajpur with water level in Brahmani, Kharasrota and their

tributaries rising. All major rivers in the district are flowing much above the danger marks. Water level in

Brahmani was at 70.9 feet mark near Jenapur against the red mark of 67 by 4 pm on Sunday. Against the

danger level of 19.5 metres at Binjharpur, the Kharasrota was flowing at 20.5 in the noon.

BHUBANESWAR: With the flood situation in northern Orissa further worsening, the State Government on

Sunday intensified airdropping of food packets as 3,003 villages remained marooned. The death toll has

increased to 17. "As water level continues to rise in the Brahmani river, more and 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. Bari block 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 supervise rescue and relief

operation. A large number of people are taking shelters on rooftops and they need to be evacuated, the

minister said, adding floods in the Brahmani river could further worsen.

Though the Water Resources department had been regulating Brahmani floods from Rengali dam, it 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 lowlying areas," he said after a review

meeting.

Jajpur town remains cut off with flood water still overflowing on the only alternative road to the town. After

the collapse of 100year old bridge on the Budha river, there is no road link to dispatch food materials to the

affected people, Mohapatra said.

Meanwhile, the Government has banned transportation of minerals on the National Highway5 in order to

keep the road free for movement of relief materials.

Balasore district was also hit by flood water of the Subarnarekha river while Angul and Dhenkanal districts

were affected due to flood in the Brahmani river. Other districts, which had been hit by second spell of

flood, are Keonjhar and Bhadrak. Senior officials were deputed to supervise rescue and relief operation in

these three worsthit districts where people were trapped on rooftops.

c. Homeless and hungry in the deluge

Times Of India, Naresh Chandra Pattanayak

Sep 26, 2011, 11.29AM IST

KEONJHAR: More than one lakh people of 128 villages of Anandpur, Ghasipura and Hatadihi blocks and eight

wards in Anandapur municipality have been severely affected in the recent floods caused by river Baitarani's

fury.After four days of flood, road communication to many villages is yet to be restored, while relief

continues to elude most of the areas due to swelling waters.The Hatadihi 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.

Thousands of people of Ghatagaon block area blocked the NH-215 on Saturday afternoon demanding

polythene. They also ransacked the revenue inspector's office.

Emergency officer R C Kisku, however, said, "Adequate polythene and relief has been supplied to flood-

affected areas. Cooked food has also been distributed to flood victims at different shelter camps.""The

administration as well as local representatives have failed to provide relief and drinking water to all the

flood-affected areas of the block. The villagers are facing acute shortage of food and drinking water. The

relief material supplied after three days in some areas is not sufficient and thousands of villagers have not

received any relief so far," said Subhransu Naik, a social activist of the block.Four Orissa Disaster Rapid

Action Force (Odraf) teams deployed in Anandapur, Ghasipura and Hatadihi blocks are not sufficient to

rescue the affected people either. Less than 10% of the flood victims have been provided cooked food so far

with shelter in different camps, sources said.

According to the official report, about 61,752 people of 82 villages of 13 GPs in Hatadihi block, about 15,600

people of 20 villages of eight GPs in Anandpur block, about 6,000 people of 26 villages of five GPs of

Ghasipura block and about 6,420 people of eight wards in Anandpur municipality area have been affected in

the Anandpur sub-division.Among these only about 8,000 people have been provided cooked food at 14

camps in Anandpur block, about 510 at four camps in Hatadihi block and some 6,000 people have been

accommodated in eight camps in Ghasipura block area.PCC president Niranjan Pattnaik and former PCC

president Jayadev Jena visited the flood-affected areas and condemned the district administration as well as

the state government for poor distribution of relief.

d. Harrowing time for rescue, relief operators; CM worried

The PioneerMonday, 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 high current of the floodwaters 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 and Sundergarh 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 to evacuate 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, the flood 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 a

special 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.

Monsoon flooding kills 48, maroons thousands in India

Associated Press / September 27, 2011

LUCKNOW, India - Monsoon rains destroyed mud huts and flooded wide swaths of northern and eastern

India, killing at least 48 people in recent days and leaving hundreds of thousands marooned by raging

waters, officials said yesterday.

Those stranded took shelter atop trees, hills, and rooftops in the eastern states of Orissa and Bihar and the

northern state of Uttar Pradesh. Rescue helicopters dropped food in hard-to-reach areas, while hundreds of

boats ferried the stranded to safety.

But the rains, expected to continue for two more days, were holding up rescue efforts, officials said.

All 31 people killed over the weekend in Uttar Pradesh state died when the roofs of their mud housescollapsed, Relief Commissioner K.K. Sinha said. The state offered compensation of about $2,200 to victims’

families.

“Many of them died in their sleep,’’ said P.K. Upadhaya, a district magistrate in Jaunpur, where 18 of the

deaths occurred. “Heavy rainfall hampered the rescue operation.’’

Another 17 people were swept away over the weekend by flood waters in Orissa state, where more than

130,000 have been evacuated from low-lying areas near rivers that burst their banks, Revenue and Disaster

Management Minister S.N. Patra said. Since the monsoons began in August more than 70 people have died

in Orissa.

The state’s chief minister widened the evacuation area this week, while the air force was ordered to send

more aircraft to help.

Hundreds of thousands of people scrambled into trees or on top of buildings to escape the rising waters.

In Bihar state, soldiers rescued more than 200 people who were stranded when flood waters from the Sone

River entered their village. At least 500,000 people have been affected as torrential rains and overflowing

rivers inundated central and southern Bihar.

Bhubaneshwar: The flood situation in Orissa continues to remain grim with nearly 2.1 million people

affected in more than 3000 villages. The second spell of floods has resulted in the death of 19 people so far

with six casualties reported from the Jajpur, one of the worst-affected districts.

Even though water levels in most rivers except the Brahmani have started receding, over a thousand villages

are still marooned. In fact, flood water of Brahmani had completely submerged Bari block and many places

of Rajnagar, Pattamundai and Aul blocks in Kendrapara district.

Six helicopters of the Indian Air Force and the Indian Navy have been deployed to air-drop food packets to

the flood-affected area. But air-dropping of food items was being hindered due to the paucity of dry land,

especially in the Jajpur district.

"Air-dropping of food items was not possible in Bari block of Jajpur district as the entire area has been

submerged in flood water," Revenue and Disaster Management Minister S N Patro told reporters after

reviewing the flood situation.

Hence, the government has also sent 460 boats with relief materials to the affected areas to aid in the

operations. With the government unable to drop food packets from helicopters, reports of people starving

has been received from Jajpur and Kendrapara districts.

The authorities have set up 258 free kitchens in the flood-affected area.

Meanwhile, a central team, comprising four members from ministries of Road Transport and Highways,

Agriculture, Health and Water Resources arrived here to assess flood damage.

"Though the team is to assess the damage due to the first spell of floods in the Mahanadi system, we will

take them to Jajpur district for review of the situation," said Special Relief Commissioner (SRC) P K

Mohapatra, adding the team will visit three western districts tomorrow.

g. Hats off to Air Force

From evacuation in quake-hit Sikkim to rescue operations in Orissa, the Indian Air Force quickly had to

switch gears to handle the entirely-varied situations in terms of the operational environment.

The 142 helicopter unit of the IAF based at Bagdogra stepped up to the challenge. The pilots of the unit were

actively involved in evacuating casualties and air drop relief in Sikkim when floods hit Orissa. Some of the

helicopters were pulled out from the Sikkim operation and diverted to Bhubaneswar. But, the pilots were

not heard complaining of the double task.
