Odisha Flood Alert- July 15, 2009

a. 16 killed in flash flood in Orissa, more rains forcast 14 Jul 2009, 2012 hrs IST, Nageshwar Patnaik, ET Bureau http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/News/PoliticsNation/16-killed-in-flash-flood-in-Orissa-more-rainsforcast/articleshow/4777202.cms

BHUBANESWAR: The clouds have struck with a vengeance Orissa with at least 16 people killed in the flash floods. In the past 48 hours. The State, which was reeling under heat wave till June 23, now faces a serious flood situation triggered by a depression. Many rivers have started swelling and more rains are in the offing due to the low pressure over Bay of Bengal. According to reports reaching the state revenue control room here on Tuesday two people including a fisherman drowned in the flooded Ramalia rivulet in Tigiria area of Koenjhar district on Monday night. Similarly three people were killed when they were caught in the swirling waters of Terumudi River at Biondhuagaon in Koraput district on Tuesday, while two others were swept away in flood waters in Kandhamal district the same day. Two people were killed in rain related incidents in Ganjam district in south Orissa on Monday. While a man was swept away by flood waters in Bhanjanagar area, a 16-year-old girl died due to wall collapse at Berhampur. In another incident, seven people, including a mother-daughter duo, were killed when the bus they were travelling in plunged into a flooded rivulet at Madhyakhanda near Dassapalla in Nayagarh district on Monday night. Local people rescued 28 other passengers including the driver and conductor of the bus. The Orissa government on Tuesday announced an ex-gratia of Rs 1 lakh each to the next of the kin of the deceased. Meanwhile all the major rivers in the state are flowing above their respective danger levels at many places. The rains also caused breaches on roads in the districts of Koraput, Ganjam and Kandhamal, snapping communication in south Orissa. Flash floods in Baitarini river and its tributary Kharosotra have snapped communication links at several places. The situation is equally grim in 70 riverside villages of Aul and Rajkanika blocks. The low pressure is likely to concentrate into a depression in the next 24 hours, thus inducing widespread rains over the State during the next 48 hours, the Met department said.

b. Orissa Govt. announces exgratia of 1 lakh each to Nayaragarh flood victims' kin Tuesday, July 14, 2009 http://orissadiary.com/CurrentNews.asp?id=13389 Report by Orissadiary correspondent; Bhubaneswar : The state government has announced exgratia of one lakh of each deceased family and all treatment expenses of the injured persons will be borned by the state government.

It should be noted that in a tragic incident seven persons, including two women died after a passenger bus was swept away by floodwaters in Nayagarh district on Monday. The incident took place while Sri Mandir Bus was going from Bhubaneswar to Daspalla area carrying about 35 passengers at about 8pm on Monday. The bus jumped off a small bridge of Besalia canal which was submerged in floodwaters. The bridge built over a small canal did not have walls on both sides.

Though floods in Orissa were now being managed through eight major and 38 medium reservoirs but they were not enough, they said. “While construction of 18 reservoirs is presently on, the government has planned 17 such projects,” the sources said.

Projects on the Mahanadi river system, the state's biggest, were under construction at various sites over the Indra, Manjore, Ret, Titlagarh and Suktel rivers. Plans were also afoot to construct reservoirs in the lower catchment of the massive Hirakud dam over the Ong, Tel, Uttei, Brutang, Lanth, Barmul, Roul, Dhauragoth, Salki and Khadago areas.

“The floods could easily be tamed in the Mahanadi system when these projects are completed,” the sources said. The state government's two proposals ---Mahanadi basin development plan and Subarnarekha Sanskar Project --- worth Rs 3555.4 crore and Rs 970 crore respectively, were pending for approval of the Central Water Commission (CWC), they said. A drainage master plan proposal, including excavation of river mouths and bed worth Rs 865.40 crore, was also pending with the CWC.

Flood affected villagers of Tirtol area have not only expressed their discontentment but are living in panic condition due to non- construction of shelter to rescue from flood. In last super flood, more than five lakh people in Tirtol, Biridi, Kujang, Jagatsinghpur and other blocks of this district were affected. Similarly, ten persons were also killed and paddy crops completely destroyed due to super flood. Though hundreds of cyclone shelters have been mushrooming in this district but these are not useable during flood. Last super flood gave a lesson to the government and Orissa State Disaster & Mitigation authority in which they stressed to set up multiple flood cyclone shelter in flood hit areas. During this time, the then revenue minister Mr Manmohan Samal who reviewed the flood situation also announced to set up these shelters as soon as possible to rescue from flood. He also gave idea about the design and place of construction of these shelters to rescue from flood. Meanwhile, OSDMA has decided to set up five flood shelters at Bagalpur, Bansadhara under Biridi, Ichapur under Balikuda block, Saharagadia under Kujang and Samantray under Tirtol block. These shelters will be set up on the mount to prevent the entry of flood water. Both animal and human beings will be sheltered during flood in which all facilitates like relief materials, free kitchen and information regarding flood situation will be provided to affected people. Rs 10 lakh would be spent for the construction of shelters. Tardy progress and negligence of officials has delayed to strat the construction of building in four places while intra party conflict between ruling party legislators have created the uncertainty for construction of flood shelters at Tirtol block .Locals have alleged that negligence of officials to identify the location has marred the construction in four places. District emergency officer Mr Saroja Kant Mohanty has expressed that site selection has been completed in four places but site selection at Samantrapur under Tirtol block has not yet completed due to indifference between two groups of villagers.

The axis of monsoon trough at sea level passes through Bikanir, Jaipur, Sibpuri, Pendra, Jharsuguda centre of well marked low pressure area and thence South East wards to East central Bay of Bengal. Forecast valid for next 24hrs Rainfall likely to occur at most places over all the catchments of Orissa. Heavy Rainfall (50mm or more) Warning Extremely heavy rainfall likely to occur at isolated places over Upper and Lower Mahanadi catchments. Heavy to very heavy falls likely to occur at a few places over Upper and Lower Mahanadi, Baitarani, Lower Brahmani and at isolated places over Subarnarekha, Burhabalanga, Vamsadhara catchments. Heavy rainfall likely to occur at isolated places over Rushikulya catchments during next 48 hours. Quantitative Precipitation Rainfall for next 24hrs Baitarani :- 26-50 mm., Upper Mahanadi :- 51-100 mm., Lower Mahanadi :- >100 mm., Rushikulya :- 11-25 mm., Vamsadhara :- 26-50 mm.(Other basins are nil.)
