2. Selected News from Local English Media2 (28th Sep, 2011)a. Government attacked for not seeking army aidExpress News ServiceLast Updated : 27 Sep 2011 12:20:29 PM IST

BHUBANESWAR: The BJP on Monday slammed the Government for not seeking assistance of the Army and

the Navy for rescue and relief operations in the flood-affected districts.

"The Government should have taken military assistance as it has failed to reach many areas where people

are still trapped in flood water without food, senior BJP leader BB Harichandan told mediapersons here.

Alleging that the Government has miserably failed to rescue the marooned people and provide relief to

them, the former minister said many areas of Jajpur and Kendrapara districts are not accessible even today.

The Orissa Disaster Rapid Action Force (ODRAF) teams are unable to reach many villages in Jajpur andKendrapara districts because of high water current. Even supply of food through airdropping is not possible

in many areas of Bari, Aul and Rajkanika blocks, Harichandan said after visiting several areas of Jajpur

district.

He further alleged that food materials had not reached 50 anganwadi centres providing supplementary

nutrition to children, pregnant and lactating mothers.

The first and second spell of floods exposed the Governments lack of preparedness to handle such

calamities. He urged the Government to rush relief materials to the marooned people and those taking

shelter on river banks without delay.

The BJP leader said the affected people in Korei block were complaining of not getting polythene.

When lakhs of people are suffering due to floods, the Government is shamelessly busy in making political

appointments to various cooperative societies and corporations, he criticised.

SALEPUR: Flood water in the Birupa river has inundated Mula Basanta, Koliatha and Basudebpur gram

panchayats (GPs) in Mahanga block. These GPs come under the Birupa- Genguti deltaic region of the block.

Over 10,000 people have been hit in the second flood of the season. The worst-affected villages are Sripura,

Dhaneiganda, Gopalpur, Gunupur, Krishnadaspur, Koliatha, Allinagar, Kaudkola and Bara Atha. Road

communication to these villages has been cut off with flood water flowing over the roads. Sources said while

people alleged that they were yet to get any relief.

c. No food, drinking water for victimsExpress News Service


BALASORE: Even as the flood water in the Subarnarekha, the Budhabalanga, the Kansabansa and the Jalaka

rivers has started receding, normalcy is yet to be restored in the affected villages. As many as 194 villages

remained marooned for the third consecutive day on Monday.

The victims alleged that no relief, including drinking water pouches and baby food, has been distributed to

them. While the district administration claimed that 4.41 lakh people in 813 villages of all the 12 blocks of

had been distributed to the flood-hit.

We just have some dry food left with us which wont last longer. The flood water is not receding and there

is no supply of relief from the administration, alleged Srihari Jena of Gujadiha village.

Basanti Barik of Krushnapur village had the same story to narrate. No polythene, food or kerosene has been

distributed here. Even there is no fodder for the livestock, she said.

Sources said more than two lakh persons in the riverside hamlets of Basta, Baliapal, Jaleswar, Bhogari,

Simulia, Khaira and Remuna blocks are crying for relief.

Collector Akhila Bihari Ota, however, said the victims were provided relief as per the State Relief Code.

telecommunication facilities were disrupted. Thousands of people on riverside villages have taken shelter on

NH-60, cyclone shelters and schools.

JAIPUR: For the last five days, people in Bari block have been spending nights on roof tops to evade flood

water. With water level in the Brahmani and the Kharasrota rivers showing no signs of receding, the worst

seems far from over.

Bari block has been the worst affected in the recent floods with surging water submerging most villages

here.

The gravity of the situation can be gauged from the fact that helicopters failed to drop food packs to the

flood-affected people on Monday due to paucity of dry land. The flood has affected over 1.5 lakh people of

98 villages under 29 gram panchayats in the block.

Senior bureaucrat and former Jajpur collector Arvind Kumar Padhee called a coordination meeting of the top

officials at the collectorate to expedite the rescue and relief operation. At least 16 boats have been pressed

into service to carry relief materials to the flood victims, he said.

Padhee has been camping at the worst-hit Bari since Sunday. Eight breaches were reported on river

embankments here in the fresh spell of floods.

Meanwhile, the State Government has banned transportation of minerals on NH-5 and 5 (A) to allow free

movement of relief materials, he said. Official sources said over 6 lakh people of 603 villages under 153 gram

panchayats spread over 10 blocks of the district have been marooned in the latest flood. The deluge has

claimed eight lives in the district till now.

g. Flood stress' leads five to try suicide in Keonjhar distTimes of India, TNN | Sep 27, 2011, 11.19PM IST

Keonjhar: At least five persons, including two women, attempted suicide in the worst flood-affected

Hatadihi block area. All victims allegedly consumed pesticide and were admitted to Salania community

health center under Nandipada police station. Out of them, a woman, died in the hospital, while others

were shifted to different hospitals in Anandpur, Bhadrak and Cuttack after their situation deteriorated,

sources said.

The deceased woman was identified as Anusuya Panda (50) of Ichhapur village. Police attributed the

woman's death to family disturbances.

"Last night three poisoning cases came to the hospital, out of which one person has died," said Dr Asit

Biswal of Salania CHC hospital.

"Four persons allegedly attempted suicide after consuming pesticide and were admitted to Salania CHC. Out

of them died early in the morning. The cause of the suicide attempts is yet to be known. But preliminary

investigation reveals that family problems led to the people attempting suicide," said additional district

magistrate Brajakishore Naik.

People in the region are under a lot of stress due to enormous losses suffered in the floods. Many flood

victims are yet to get any relief and have been living under miserable conditions without any food or shelter.

Thousands of hectares of crop fields have been submerged and damaged in the floods, affecting the

cultivation dependent population badly.

Locals suspect flood related depression and tension may have led to the five people attempting suicide.

According to sources, Hatadihi block of Keonjhar district is the worst affected block in Keonjhar in recent

floods. More than 60,000 people of 82 villages of 13 gram panchayats of Hatadihi block have been affected

in the recent floods in Baitarani river.

h. Crumbs of relief no match for delugeTimes of India, Ashis Senapati, TNN | Sep 27, 2011, 11.23PM IST

Kendrapada: A helicopter hovered over a cluster of mud houses poking over the submerged village of

Taradipala in Kendrapada district on Tuesday. The marooned villagers scrambled towards the chopper, arms

aloft in desperate hope of getting some relief, eyes scrunched against the tornado whipped up by the copter

blades.

Most of the at least 10 lakh flood-affected hungry and water-borne diseases endangered villagers of Bari,

Dasarathapur, Badachana, Korei, Dharmasala and Binjharpur blocks of Jajpur district and Aul, Rajkanika andRajnagar blocks of Kendrapada district, remain in desperate need for aid as floods just refuse to abate.

Even as many low-lying areas are submerged in some seven feet deep water with most of the mud houses of

villagers completely destroyed in the deluge, some people have their own unique, desperate reasons for

staying put in marooned areas. In Rathasahi village in Bari block, 80-year-old Janakiballava Rath refused to

leave the village as nobody came forward to help his paralyzed wife Rangalata to move out from the

marooned area.

Still others have had no choice but to bear with the flood misery. Sarada Swain in her 40s, stayed marooned

for four days inside her flooded house in Ostia village, along with an eight-member family she was

sheltering, before being rescued by a boat. When the floodwater was flowing, she was advised by relativesand family friends to leave her house but she underestimated the fury of the floods and had refused to

leave.

"We have never experienced such a horrible situation. We had stocked some food items and ration when

the floods began, thinking it would be enough to tide by the floods, but it proved to be too little against the

massive floods," Sarada said.

The district administration meanwhile continues to claim to be trying its best to reach out to the affected

people. "The authority has deployed 321 boats to rescue the marooned people. Besides, we have opened 93

free kitchen centers in the flood-affected areas. Coast guard personnel have been deployed to speed up

rescue operations. The death toll has reached 20 on Monday," said Kendrapada district collector P K Patnaik.

"Nearly 6,56,441 persons of 588 villages of Jajpur have been marooned in the second phase of flood as

rivers breached at least 33 sites," said Bijayalaxmi Jena, emergency officer of Jajpur district.

flood and the situation afterwards. "The flood is really devastating and was unseen during the last 40 years,"

added. But at the same time, he highly praised the district administration and the relief measures taken up

by them on war footing basis while the people were in problem. "The victims told me that they were

properly taken care of during the flood and all credits goes to the Collector and the local officers," Patnaik

said. He also sought for the cooperation of all to help the flood victims and make them self sufficient very

shortly.

He also appealed the farmers to do hard work during the Rabi crop to make up the loss, the Chief Minister

further assured all sorts of help from the State Government and Agriculture Department in particular to the

farmers. "There would be no dearth of Government help to the flood victims and the farmers," he promised.

He also visited a relief camp inside the Dhama health centre and distributed cheques and kits to the flood

affected people. Total 50 people availed the cheques in the camp.

Massive police arrangements were made for smooth visit of the Chief Minister as people here are up in the

arms against the visit in view of the proposed Sindhol project. As precautionary measures, the police

arrested 22 persons belonging to the BJP earlier. The police also arrested Govind Agrawal, Surya Kumar

Panigrahi and Saurav Mahapatra who showed black flags protesting the Chief Minister's visit. The four-

member Central team led by Chief Engineer of Road Transport and Highways Sunil Kumar Verma also visited

the town and realised the gravity of the situation even after 15days of the flood. They visited Mandaliya,

Durgapali, Mahanadi Ring Road, Balibandha and interacted with the locals. The district administration also

handed over a status report on flood to the team. On their part, the team assured to submit a genuine

report to the Government of India as to the flood situation in the town and the loss there off. "The loss is

land in all the command areas of major river systems to facilitate rescue and relief operations.

According to official sources, the new flood shelter plan was mooted by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik at a

high-level meeting held at State secretariat to review the flood situation and the relief and rescue

operations.

Patnaik, the sources said, has directed the Revenue Department authorities in charge of disaster

management to prepare a comprehensive plan on putting up of flood shelters, permanent helipads and

construction of godowns to stock food and required material including medicines in compact high lands in

the chronic flood areas. The integrated project would help avoid the bottlenecks being faced by the

administration during high floods in reaching the relief material to the affected people without any delay

and to undertake rescue operations from the cut-off areas to save precious human lives, the sources said.

Patnaik has asked the Revenue officials to locate strategic and safe places, as far as flood is concerned, in all

the areas criss-crossing the river systems in the entire State, whether coastal, western, northern or southern

districts, immediately after the current floods subside.

During the current floods since the first week of September, the administration could not undertake rescue

operations at many places and even was not able to provide relief material through aerial route as there was

no landmass left for dropping of food packets. The waters were so pervasive and the current of the flood

waters was so intense that it even the trained ODRAF and NDRAF teams could not venture to undertake

rescue operations.

The sources said that the State Government would seek Central assistance for taking up the Integrated

Flood Shelter projects in a massive way.

The Chief Minister, during the review, also directed the authorities to accelerate the relief and restoration

measures and ensure provision of cooked food to those flood victims camping in relief centres and

embankments and other safe places till they returned to their respective homes.

He also asked the health authorities to move around the affected villages and the camps to provide health

services and disinfect water sources to check the possible outbreak of flood-related diseases.

Patnaik also asked the Special Relief Commissioner to continue airdropping of food packets in the worst-

affected and marooned areas spread over Kendrapada, Jajpur and Bhadrakh districts. He instructed that the

flood affected people should be provided all care and treated with honour during relief distribution.

Meanwhile, Patnaik on Tuesday had been to Sambalpur, Bargarh and Subarnapur areas affected during the

first spell of floods. Sharing concerns of the affected people, during interaction, Patnaik is reported to have

assured that they would be provided with house building assistance within the stipulated period. He also

assured that the affected farmers would get compensation towards their crop loss and would be provided

with agricultural inputs which include subsidised seeds and fertilisers to take up Rabi cultivation.

l. Orissa to construct permanent helipads in flood-prone areasPTI | 10:09 PM,Sep 27,2011

Bhubaneswar, Sep 27 (PTI) Facing difficulties in execution of relief operation during natural calamities with

areas waterlogged for days, the Orissa government today decided to construct permanent helipads in

coastal region.A meeting chaired by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik decided to build the helipad in the wake

of failure in air-dropping of food packets in Bari block of Jajpur district flooded by swollen Brahmani and

Baitarani rivers, official sources said.The state government had to stop air-dropping of food packets

yesterday in Bari area as the pilots could not find any dry or high land for dropping, Revenue and DisasterManagement Minister S N Patro said.Had there been a helipad in the area, relief operation could have been

carried out smoothly, he said."As road communication get snapped due to high floods, air-dropping of food

packets is the only option left with the government. But, when that is hampered due to lack of dry places,

people's suffering gets compounded," Patro said.Permanent helipads would be constructed in Kendrapara,

Jagatsinghpur, Puri, Cuttack, Jajpur Bhadrak and Balasore district, the sources said.This apart, Patnaik had

also asked the officials to construct flood centres along high lands where distressed people could be

sheltered during the calamities and godowns to store relief materials.

m. Tens of thousands stranded by floodwaters in India

Aftab Alam Siddiqui / AP, updated 9/27/2011 10:33:56 AM ET 2011-09-27T14:33:56

BHUBANESHWAR, India Indian air force helicopters dropped food parcels and hundreds of boats shuttled

stranded people to safer ground as surging floodwaters hit eastern India.

The floods caused by heavy rains have inundated more than 3,000 villages in Orissa state that are home to

more than 2 million people.

Orissa relief commissioner P.K. Mohapatra says five people were missing Tuesday in addition to the 27 killed

in the eastern state since Friday.

More than 120,000 people have evacuated but tens of thousands are still marooned. Air force helicopters

are delivering food, and more than 370 boats were relocating stranded residents.

More than 77 people have died in Orissa since the monsoons began in August. Flooding also killed at least

44 since Friday in northern Uttar Pradesh and Bihar states.

In Bihar, 13 people have died over the past three days when mud houses collapsed due to incessant rain, or

trees fell on them, crushing residents. Rescue workers were helping people stranded on rooftops to move to

government buildings on higher ground.

In Patna, Bihar's capital, officials said flooding was grim in the northern districts as the water in the Ganges

River was flowing above the danger level in many places.

n. Mighty Animal Rescue Team in India Battling Epic FloodCare2 ,Laura S.September, 27, 201111:00 pmRead more:http://www.care2.com/causes/mighty-animal-rescue-team-in-india-battling-epic-

BBC News reports that more than two million people in India have been affected by monstrous floods as

torrential rains lash the Uttar Pradesh and Bihar states. In the coastal region of Orissa alone, 10 districts

deluged by the monsoon are now drowning under the weight of three rivers. And while helicopters are

dropping food for the humans, there is one mighty team working day and night to save the animals of flood-

ravaged India.

Action for Protection of Wild Animals (APOWA) has been traveling by boat and by boot to the hardest hit

areas in a desperate attempt to relieve the suffering of the animals there. The team, which includes

veterinarians and volunteers, has been providing emergency food, veterinary treatment and repair of

damaged animal shelters. Theyre distributing hundreds of bags of food for cattle, goats and dogs.

Here around ninety percent of animal shelters, made with thatched houses, have completely collapsed,

explains APOWA Director Bijaya Kumar Kabi. Temporary shelters are now essential for flood victims.

Our vet doctors are finding diarrhea, anorexia, respiratory problems, hoof rot and mineral deficiency in the

animals, Bijaya continues. We cant stop now, even as our own office and shelter house are under threat

from flash floods.

For some villages, the rescuers from APOWA are the very first aid theyve seen, even though were now two

weeks into the disaster. Having been a part of emergency relief operations in Latin America, I am all too

familiar with this scenario. You truly cant imagine what its like to hand a family a 40 pound sack of dog

food knowing that the adults and their children are likely to eat the kibble alongside their pets because they

cant bear the endless wait for help from relief agencies. To watch animals slowly die of starvation and

diarrhea, well, it leaves a scar that never heals and while I cant be in India this week to help with my own

two hands, I do believe theres something equally significant I can do to help.

As founder of the Harmony Fund international animal rescue charity, Im asking for your support for

APOWAs powerful rescue efforts in India. 100 percentof the donations we receive over the next 72 hourswill be exclusively restricted for the animal rescue efforts in India. Every dollar that comes in will go toward

the purchase of veterinary medicines, food and materials to put up temporary animal shelters to replace the

ones that have been washed away. This is not a crisis that will pass this week or this month. Recovery will

take a very long time and I ask you to please look at the photos Ive posted here and decide for yourself if

youd like to lend a hand.

p. Brahmani recedes, Bari still under flood waterExpress News Service , The New Indian Express

Posted on Sep 28, 2011 at 11:18am IST

JAIPUR: Even as the Brahmani and its tributaries relented on Tuesday, there has been no let-up in the flood

situation in Bari.

The entire block continued to remain under 8-10 feet water for the fifth consecutive day.

Flood water has submerged Baruan-Bari, Bari-Ratnagiri and Brahmabarada-Bari roads, snapping

communication links with Bari. This has hampered relief and rescue operations in the 98 villages under 29

gram panchayats of the block. We have been without food for the last five days, said Narayan Das of

Kalamatia village. Like others, he along with his family has taken shelter on the roof-top of a building.

Domestic animals too are in a pitiable state without fodder.

With communication links snapped, the district administration is finding it difficult to reach out to the flood-

hit.

Efforts are being made to establish contact with the marooned villagers. About 40 boats have been pressed

into service to provide relief to the stranded people, said senior bureaucrat Arvind Padhee, who has beencamping at Bari since Sunday.

The relief team has rescued a few sick and pregnant women, who are undergoing treatment in mobile

hospitals, he added.

Over 6 lakh people of 603 villages spread over 10 blocks of the district have been affected by floods in the

Baitarani, the Brahmani, the Kharasrota, Kani, Budha, Tantighai and Kelua rivers. As many as 27 breaches

were reported following the fresh spell of floods.

With a portion of Rudhia bridge crashing in the swelling flood water, the district headquarters town was cut

off from the rest of Orissa.

Meanwhile, a Central team visited the flood-hit areas of Jajpur district on Monday afternoon.

q. Church joins state in flood relief effortsSource:ucanews.com

Published Date: September 27, 2011

The Church has pressed its health and relief agencies into action as floods hit the eastern Indian state of

Orissa for the second time this month.

Seventeen people have died and dozens more remain missing as flood waters inundated the state over the

weekend.

Flooding earlier this month claimed 52 lives. Now two-thirds of the states 30 districts are under water,

affecting nearly 2.2 million residents.

Weekend floods struck Jajpur, Kendrapara, Bhadrak and Keonjhar districts.

The federal government has deployed air force and navy personnel along with the National Disaster Rapid

Force to rescue residents trapped in flooded villages.

Caritas India, the social arm of the local Church, as well as the Catholic Relief Service have joined relief and

rescue operations.

No matter how much relief materials we distribute, they are nothing in view of the huge calamity facing

Orissa, Sailendra Pattnaik, a senior program officer at CRS, said September 27.

Pattnaik said the Church aid agencies are collaborating with government agencies and local NGOs.

Orissa Governor MC Bhandare has helped distribute Church relief materials and we are in constant

engagement of local administration for this, Pattnaik added.

Francis Barla, who oversees Caritas operations in Orissa, and doctors from St Johns Medical College in

Bangalore have come to give assistance as health camps have become quite critical for flood-hit areas.

The Catholic Hospital Association of India, the largest network of Church health workers, has also sent in

volunteers.

Catholic Charities, the social service wing of Cuttack-Bhubaneswar archdiocese, is also collaborating with the

Orissa Forum for Social Action to support victims of the latest flooding.

Sister Vani, a health worker, said relief workers are also attending to several snake-bite victims.

According to her, Church workers are assisting in areas where government agencies have yet to reach.

William Wilson, a physician in the St Johns Medical College team, said he is treating some 300 patientsdaily.
