Officials said the flood waters caused breaches on embankments and roads as a result of which several areas in eight of the state's 30 districts remained cut off. "So far, 36 rain related deaths have been reported," state's revenue and disaster management minister Surya Narayan Patro said. "While many of them died due to drowning, some of them have died after their mud houses collapsed," he said.

"The districts affected by the flash floods are Boudh, Nayagarh, Kandhamal, Koraput, Rayagada, Bolangir, Kalahandi, Jagatsinghpur," he said. "The southern part of the state has been worst hit where hundreds of villages have remained marooned." "ODRAF (Orissa Disaster Rapid Action Force) personnel have rescued hundreds of victims and moved them to safer places after flood waters entered their homes in Bhanjanagar and Belaguntha areas of Ganjam district and some areas of Nayagarh district," Patro said. The floods have also submerged rice paddies in thousands of hectares, state agriculture minister Damodar Rout said. "We have asked collectors of the affected districts to submit reports assessing the damage it has caused." The water flowing in two major rivers Bansadhara and Rusikulya were above danger levels in several places Monday morning. Even though water levels in other rivers are still on the rise, they are flowing below danger levels, an official of the state flood control room said. The local meteorological centre on Monday predicted more rains during the next 24 hours. State officials said the situation is likely to remain grim for the next few days if the state had more rain. The water of the overflowing rivers and streams may not get discharged into the sea because of the high tide, as it is new moon on Wednesday.

Odisha Flood Alert- July 20, 2009 p. Flash floods kill 36 in Orissa, displace thousands Mon Jul 20, 2009 10:17am IST http://in.reuters.com/article/topNews/idINIndia-41164820090720 BHUBANESWAR (Reuters) - Floods triggered by heavy monsoon rains over the past week have killed at least 36 people in Orissa and inundated half a million homes, officials and witnesses said on Monday. Rivers breached embankments, submerged hundreds of villages in low-lying areas and damaged thousands of hectares of rice in at least eight of the state's 30 districts, leaving thousands of people stranded. Much of India in recent weeks has suffered a bad start to the monsoon, whose uneven progress caused drought in some states and floods elsewhere. Authorities worry the high waters will persist in the flood-prone Orissa, home to more than 36 million people, with more rains expected over the next 48 hours. "Thirty-six flood-related deaths have been reported so far," Orissa's revenue and disaster management minister, Surya Narayan Patro, told Reuters. "The number of displaced will be more than 5,000." Patro said hundreds of people had been rescued since Sunday, after rains flooded the homes of an estimated 500,000 people. The heavy downpour triggered by a low pressure trough over the Bay of Bengal has breached roads and disrupted public transport. "The flash floods have damaged rice paddy in more than 10,000 hectares," Orissa's agriculture and food production director, Arabinda Kumar Padhee, told Reuters. TV footage showed people in other areas sheltering on rooftops or wading through knee-deep water in towns.
