July 2009)
a. No threat of flood on Mahanadi catchments
Wednesday, July 22, 2009

http://www.dailypioneer.com/190836/No-threat-of-flood-on-Mahanadi-catchments.html
The State heaved a sigh of relief on Tuesday as the low pressure that had pressed the panic button
weakened.
The State Government also issued a Press release stating that there would not be flood in the Mahanadi
catchments.
“The water levels in major rivers are below the danger marks,” said Revenue Minister Surya Narayan Patro
said.
Sources said that the water flow at Naraj stood at 865476 lakh cusecs as against the assessment of over
nine lakh. Besides Mahanadi, water level in all other rivers including Bansadhara, Tel and Hati are receding.
The State Government also announced that there would be no holidays for schools on Wednesday. Earlier,
the State Government announced that all schools would remain closed on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The water level in Hirakud reservoir stood at 617.12 feet as against the full reservoir capacity of 630 feet.
b. Rains that brought cheers bring tears to farmers

http://www.dailypioneer.com/190758/Rains-that-brought-cheers-bring-tears-to-farmers.html
More than one lakh people have been affected by the floods in Ganjam district, particularly in the two
blocks of Bhanjanagar and Belaguntha, close to river Badanadi.
More than 70 villages have been affected and crop loss of around Rs 6.25 crore has been estimated. The
farmers in the district were waiting for the monsoon and they had a sigh of relief after the rain started on
July 17. But the incessant rains created panic among the farmers as they apprehended crop loss because of
waterlogging. However, flood was not expected in these areas, particularly in Badanadi, as it had not
created such a situation after the flood of 1969, local people added.
The flood of Badanadi has left more than 1 lakh people to remain marooned in the villages under
Bhanjanagar and Belaguntha block. Though some other blocks have been affected in the recent floods, but
these two blocks were most hit as more than 45 villages including Galleri, Ranikiari, Chandipatna,
Dhananjayapur, Dholapita, Sorishamuli, Kalisiri, Mandara, Kuradhia, Raigocha, Budhalocha, Turumu,
Gujurali, Tulasipalli, Baruda, Kudiberada, Mahulai, Kantadora, Ustiya, Bhasapalli, Niladribihar, Narayanpur,
Balisahi, Tangana, Kadapalli, Raipalli and other adjoining areas, remained cut off from the outer world.
Some other villages had also been affected along these areas due to the flood in Badanadi.
Food and other relief materials were being supplied to these villages from neighbouring areas by ODRAF
teams. Disaster Management Minister Surjya Narayan Patra and Rural Development Minister Bikram Keshari
Arukh along with district Collector VK Pandian have reviewed the flood situation. But, keeping in view the
flood situation, crop loss, livestock loss, damage to residential houses, roads and other losses, it was
apprehended that damages are three times more than the official estimation.

c. Flash floods worsen situation in Balangir

http://www.dailypioneer.com/190754/Flash-floods-worsen-situation-in-Balangir.html
Normal life in Balangir town and other parts of the district was thrown out of gear due to heavy rains which
lashed the town since Sunday evening.
On Sunday, Balangir town recorded 251.2 mm of rainfall, and within 24 hours the town witnessed flash
floods which worsened the situation. As the drains in the town are either choked or lying defunct rain
water entered into houses located in low-lying areas of the town like Brahmanpada, Barpalipada,
Gandhinagar, Tikrapada Talpalipada, Sagarpada and Dampada.
As many as 15 out of 21 wards have been severely affected due to waterlogging and residents are having a
tough time now. Besides this, Gudvella block area also received 110 mm of rainfall and Puintala block
received around 240 mm rainfall within 24 hours which aggravated the flood situation.
On Sunday, the Balangir-Titlagarh road was totally disrupted as flood water was flowing at a high level in
the outskirts of the town. Similarly, flood water was flowing above the temporary submersible bridge on
the Sambalpur road near Gandhinagar which severely affected bus services to Sambalpur. Similarly, road
communication between Balangir and Patnagarh was also affected as flood water was flowing at a high
level at Patharchepa, 5 km away from Balangir.
However, after the heavy rains, buses started plying normally on the Balangir-Patnagarh and Balangir-
Titlagrah road. But road route between Balangir and Sambalpur is still cut off due to breach in the
Sambalpur road. Locals here are protesting against the incomplete bridge construction over Laxmi Joure (a
rivulet) which has been going on for the last three years. A sub-way road has been constructed.
However, as flood water arrived this year, it brought large amounts of garbage and bushes which got struck
in the pillars virtually obstructing the release of excess water, pointed out a local here. As the flood water
could not be released immediately, it gushed into nearby soft areas and breached the road. As a result,
Sambalpur-bound buses were diverted through Balangir-Chandanbhati- Madhipali-Sambalpur route.
However, according to sources, the breach is likely to be repaired within a week.
Moreover, incessant rains and disruption of communication has further skyrocketed the prices of
vegetables, which are as such in short supply, making life further miserable.
d. Early respite unlikely in waterlogged JSpur

http://www.dailypioneer.com/190753/Early-respite-unlikely-in-waterlogged-JSpur.html
People of Jagatsinghpur district heaved a sigh of relief on Tuesday as the incessant torrential rains lashing
for the last two days stopped. But the villagers living in the low-lying regions have been facing problems of
waterlogging.
All the eight blocks and the two municipal areas, Paradip and Jagatsinghpur, experienced downpours
triggered by a low pressure over the Bay of Bengal, with thousands of acres of agricultural land in the
seaside villages in Kujang, Balikuda and Ersama blocks being flooded and some of them being marooned.
Wednesday being the new moon day, water discharge to the sea would slow down and the region could be
flooded for a few more days, reports said.
The rainwater from Naugaon block areas are usually discharged to Govari, Alaka and Baunsa rivers causing
flood water flowing in rivers the sluice gates meant for rain water discharge to rivers yet to be opened, as
a result of which as much as 9,015 hectares of cultivated land in 10 Panchayats have been waterlogged. In
the Biridi area, the villages of Sivapur, Sankhapur, Adhanga and Kosala have been seriously affected due to
water-logging. In the Balikuda area, seaside villages Marichapur, Balijhori, Bandara, Dhanuharbelari,
Dekani, Nendera, Baramunduli have been marooned.
6
District collector Gyan Ranjan Dash, accompanied by irrigation and drainage departments’ engineers and
revenue officials, visited the water-logged areas of Ersama and Kujang blocks on Monday and instructed
block officials to provide relief to the affected people. On Tuesday, he visited water logged areas of Tirtol
and Raghunathpur blocks.

Sundargarh districts bore the brunt of the flash floods and downpour, there was a letup in the incessant
rains as the deep depression over North Orissa weakened and started moving away.
