2. Selected News from Local English Media2 (24th & 25th Sept, 2011)a. Fresh flood submerges 600 villages in OrissaPTI Sep 23, 2011, 03.40pm IST
BHUBANESWAR: Flood condition worsened in Orissa on Friday with four major rivers submerging around
600 villages in the state.
Fresh flood in Brahmani, Baitarani, Budhabalang and Subarnarekha rivers following a heavy downpour
wrecked havoc in Jajpur, Keonjhar, Bhadrak, Kendrapara, Balasore and Mayurbjanj districts, officials said.
"Jajpur was cut off from rest of the state as a portion of 120-year-old bridge on Baitarani river at Sathipur
caved in," District Collector Anil Samal said.
b. Bridge caves in, Jajpur cut offExpress News Service , The New Indian ExpressSep 24, 2011 at 12:20pm IST
BHUBANESWAR: After Baitarani, Subarnarekha threatened another spell of floods in the State. Even as the
depression moved away to Jharkhand, heavy rains in the catchments of Subarnarekha led the river to swell
on Friday. The Government resumed air-dropping of food packets and announced seven more days of relief.
While the State Government was breathing easy that Baitarani will relent after rising menacingly on
Thursday and flooding large parts of Jajpur and Bhadrak, Subarnarekha was causing fresh worry.
Since the three dams at Chandil, Sunei and Kal do not have enough water holding capacity, the storm water
is being released into the river. Subarnarekha was flowing at 50.28 metres, above the danger mark of 49.16

metres, at Jamsholaghat and still showing a rising trend. Similar was the trend at Rajghat where it was
flowing close to the danger level.
The Government admitted that it was a cause of concern. The Secretary of Water Resources department
has been asked to stay in contact with his counterpart of Jharkhand to monitor the flood- control situation,
Special Relief Commissioner Pradipta Kumar Mohapatra said.
Baitarani too was causing havoc in Jajpur district. Jajpur town had been marooned after Rudhia bridge over
Budha river caved in. The other connection to the town through Kuakhia was overflooded snapping all
connectivity. Even the collectorate was facing inundation following the deluge. Several breaches in the
embankments of Baitarani and Brahmani had badly affected Jajpur, where over 400 villages had been
marooned by Friday evening. Over 3,500 people had been shifted to safety. The latest estimates said floods
in Baitarani had affected close to a population of 3 lakh in four districts. Jajpur and Bhadrak were the worst
hit. At least 829 villages had been affected in 25 blocks of six districts whereas 711 villages were cut off from
the mainland. The districts had been asked to evacuate people from low-lying areas. In view of the emerging
situation, the Government decided to start air-dropping of food packets in the marooned villages of
Bhadrak, Jajpur and Kendrapara from Friday while emergency relief will be distributed for seven days. Three
senior officers were sent to the districts to assist the collectors in relief and rescue operation.
However, the Government hoped that the situation would ease since the Baitarani was showing a receding
trend at Anandpur and Akhuapada where heavy rains had occurred on Thursday. Amidst the relentless
floods, a sub-team of the inter-ministerial Central team will arrive in the State on Monday to assess damage.
A four-member team will visit Sambalpur, Bargargh and Sonepur districts before the rest of the team
arrives.
c. Overflowing Baitarani wreaks havoc...Express News Service , The New Indian Express, Sep 24, 2011 at 08:35am IST

Suryakanta Padhi said while the danger level of the Baitarani is 17.83 metre, it was flowing at 20.60 metres

e. Jajpur, 45 gram panchayats cut off after 120-yr-old bridge collapsesThe Pioneer, Saturday, 24 September 2011 00:51
AKSHAY EOUT | Jajpur
A 120 year-old bridge collapsed at Rudhia village on Friday in the flood waters of river Budha, a tributary of
the river Baitarani in the district as a result Jajpur town along with 45 gram panchayats were totally cut off
from the mainland. The bridges three supporting pillars gave way, throwing traffic out of gear.The 700-
metre-long bridge was on the verge of collapse since more than three decades. But the authorities failed to
build a new bridge as a result people of both the sides of the rivers are now in deep trouble.At any time of
the day there are scores and scores of people crossing that bridge. But as luck would have it, no lives were
lost in the incident, said Manas Pradhan of Sathipur. It was a proverbial escape for at least 45 bus
passengers as a local warned the driver not to move forward as the bridge was on the verge of collapse.We
have demanded many times before the Government to build a new bridge. But the Government has not
paid any heed to our demands, said Ranjan Sahoo of Sasthipur village. Jajpur MLA Pranab Prakash Das said
The Government will build a new bridge within six months on the river Budha.Tension mounted in boththe sides of the bridge after the collapse. Many flood-affected villagers are now stranded. Meanwhile, flood
waters marooned 105 villages in Bari, Jajpur, Korei, Badachana Dasarathpur blocks in the district as rivers

f. Fresh flood: Regulate water release from barrageExpress News Service
Last Updated : 24 Sep 2011 12:48:23 PM IST

and Jaleswar are affected. Jalka was 6.30 metres against DL 5.5 metres near Mathani. Road communications
in several places of the said blocks were severed owing to flood in Jalka.The Subarnarekha recording 9.38
metres and flowing below the warning level is likely to show a stiff rise as huge volume of water amounting
to 3,800 cusecs is likely to be released from the Chandeli dam and Galudi barrage of Jharkhand State.The
warning and danger level of the river is respectively 9.45 and 10.36 metres."I have been apprised about the
situation of Subarnarekha following release of excess water from Jharkhand. We apprehend a high flood in
north Balasore too. In south and central Balasore we have evacuated nearly 1, 200 people to safer places
and provided them cooked as well as dry food. We are alert for north Balasore due to possible rise in the
Subarnarekha. Three ODRAF teams, besides adequate number of power and country boats are ready with us
to meet exigencies," informed Ota.

Malay Mohapatra | Keonjhar
Floods in river Baitarani and its tributaries have shaken the lives of 50,000 people in Keonjhar district leaving
20 villages marooned and two drowned in floodwaters. Chief Minister Naveen Pattnaik and Revenue
Minister Surjya Narayan Patro surveyed the flood-situation on Friday from a helicopter, reportedly air-
dropping relief materials in some areas.Following torrential rains during the last three days, a record rainfall
of 192.2 mm (the highest rainfall in last 30 years) was recorded in 24 hours on September 22, resulting in
rise in flood waters in the Baitarani and its tributaries flowing above the danger level since Thursday noon.
Thirteen gram panchayats in Anandpur sub-division have been affected by the floods so far. It has not been
possible for the district administration to reach out to the villagers. Sources said the Baitarani has breached
its embankment at Fakirpur and Bancho, as a result waters gushed into 26 villages, submerging houses and
damaging property worth lakhs. Bancho, Panchugochia, Sulana, Ambo, Samana, Habeleswar, Gedema,
Sadanga, Saladei, Belabhali, Fakirpur and Mugupur are among the worst-affected panchayats in Anandpur
sub-division. People have fled to other places with their belongings and cattle. Many are also seen taking
shelter on roadsides, school and college roofs. Relief, drinking water or any kind of help is yet to reach the
flood victims. Two villagers in Belabahali and khuntapada were reported drowned in the flood waters.
As the rain has ceased and water level in the Baitarani is receding, it is expected that situation will improve
in the next 24 hours. Collector DV Swamy, after visiting the flood areas, said he would monitor the reliefwork personally. He said, We are facing difficulty in distributing chuda, rice, polythene and other relief
material to the affected villagers as all the areas are flooded and we are not getting enough boats. But some
villagers have been sheltered at Belbahali, Salapada and Anandpur college and cooked food is being
arranged.

l. Hydro position in many reservoirs not fullBijoy Pradhan,Express News Service
Last Updated : 25 Sep 2011 11:09:19 AM IST
BHUBANESWAR: Even as 19 districts of the state are reeling under flood, major reservoirs located in the
southern and western districts are much below the full reservoir level. However, Hirakud dam is the only
exception.
While water level in Hirakud and Rengali reservoirs is at the desired level due to flow of flood water in the
Mahanadi and Bramhani river systems, the hydro position in other three reservoirs built on the rivers of
Balimela, Kolab and Indravati is much below the full reservoir level.
The water level in Balimela, Kolab and Indravati was comparatively better during last year despite erratic
monsoon behaviour.
As against the full reservoir level (FRL) of 642 meters, Indravati dam had 638.39 mt of water during the
corresponding period last year. The present level of water in the reservoir is six meter less.
Indravati hydro power station having four units of 150 MW capacity each is the major generating station.
On an average, the hydro power generating station is providing about 600 MW during the peak demand.
A comfortable water position in Indravati reservoir is desirable to meet the power scarcity situation during
summer months when demand of power is much more than the availability from all sources including the
States share from the central pool.

The hydro position in Balimela reservoir is 24 ft below the last year level during this period. While the FRL
of the dam is 1516 ft, the water is 1466 ft as against last year level of 1502.70 ft. The water inflow to the
reservoir is not very significant.
Balimela station has the capacity to generate 510 MW. With three of the eight units are in operation, the
state is getting nearly 170 MW daily on an average.
The water position in Upper Kolab reservoir housing a hydro power station of 320 MW capacity is five
meter below the last year level and eight meter down the FRL.
The average generation from Balimela is 80 MW while the peak generation is more than 300 MW.
The hydro power stations at Burla and Rengali are now used to their capacity as water is overflowing in the
two river system of Mahanadi and Brahmani. The average generation from Burla and Rengali hydro power
stations is 180 MW and 190 MW respectively. However, the two stations are generating more than 450 MW
during peak demand period.
The generating capacity of Burla and Chipilima is 347.5 MW while Rengali has installed capacity of 250
MW.

o. Rivers wreak havoc in eight dists, 992 villages marooned
The Times of India, Sep 25, 2011, 11.06AM IST
BHUBANESWAR/ KENDRAPADA/ BHADRAK/ ANGUL: The flood situation worsened in eight districts of Orissa
on Saturday as the turbulent waters of four major rivers wreaked havoc, marooning 992 of the 2,362
affected villages. The government confirmed death of six people in the fresh floods so far.
Lakhs of people in Jajpur, Bhadrak, Kendrapada, Balasore and Keonjhar districts are going through a
harrowing time, a large number of them for the second time within two weeks, as Bramhani, Baitarani,
Budhabalanga and Subarnarekha rivers and their tributaries submerged fresh areas. Angul, Dhenkanal and
Mayurbhanj districts are also hit by the high floods. Roads have been damaged and water and electricity
supplies seriously disrupted.
The government said over 15.40 lakh people were affected and over 58,000 people have been evacuated.
Asim Kanungo, a member of Orissa Disaster Rapid Action Force, was missing after the boat in which he was
travelling got caught in a swirl in river Baitarani on Friday, official sources said.
No immediate respite is expected from the floods with the rivers being fed with the opening up of six of the
24 sluice gates of Rengali dam, officials said. "More gates could be opened to reduce pressure on the dam,"
said secretary, water resources, Suresh Mohapatra. Heavy rains in Panposh area of Sundergarh district on
Friday are also likely to aggravate the flood fury.
The problem was compounded by flood waters gushing into newer areas, courtesy breaches at 10 locations
in Dasarathapur, Badachana, Bari and Korei blocks in Jajpur and Aul and Rajkanika blocks in Kendrapada
district, destroying standing crops and flattening houses.
Official sources said 400 villages in Jajpur, 135 villages in Bhadrak, 98 villages in Kendrapara and 66 villages
in Mayurbhanj were marooned.
In Jajpur, 45 villages in Dasarathapur and Bari blocks were cut off following three breaches. A 600-metre
breach in an embankment at Kalasapur in Aul block resulted in inundation of hundreds of villages.

p. Floods hit tourism in Jajpur, KendrapadaThe Times of India, Ashis Senapati, TNN | Sep 24, 2011, 01.28PM IST
KENDRAPADA: The recentfloodshave taken a toll on tourism in Kendrapada and Jajpur with these districts
housing famousBuddhistsites and a national park. "The floods have severely affected tourism at the famous
Buddhist sites of Lalitagiri, Ratnagiri, Langudi, Udayagiri and Kaima areas in Jajpur and Bhitarkanika national
park in Kendrapada.
"The floodwaters discouraged many tourists from visiting the famous Buddhist site at Ratnakiri in Jajpur'sBari block. The main road near Ratnagiri is flooded with four feet water," Pranab Kumar Das of Ratnagiri
said.
Touroperatorsare worried too. "Tourists, particularly foreigners visit these places between October and
February, and it is important to repair the damaged roads within the first week of October," said
Sanghamitra Jena, a tour operator of Eastern Treasure India Tour. She also felt that the exaggerated flood
reports in media, particularly electronic, might discourage tourists from even visiting areas that have not
been affected.
"There are already signs of people having doubts about visiting Bhitarkanika during puja due to the flood,"
said Jena, who runs a nature camp in Bhitarkanika. "People have seen pictures of the terrible condition inflood affected Kendrapada district and are under the impression that the whole area is under water."
"People in other countries have been contacting us, worried about their holidays. They don't seem to realize
that the problem is very localized and the rest of the district is fine," she added.
But district tourism officer Bijaya Kumar Mohanty said, "The authorities will repair all roads at the Buddhist
sites within a week of the water receding. The tourism sector will not be affected this year."
The economy of many villages within Bhitarkanika national park depends upon tourism.
"The flood has caused colossal losses to the state's tourism. At a time when we were looking for heavyinflow of tourists, the flood has just washed away our expectations," she added.

q. Relief material 'sale bid' slur against BJD MPThe Times of India, Debabrata Mohapatra, TNN | Sep 23, 2011, 11.40AM IST
BHUBANESWAR: BJD MP from Puri Pinaki Mishra landed in trouble after police on Thursdayseizedsome
flood relief materials sporting his name andemblemof conch (BJD symbol) at Nirakarpur in Khurda district.
Police seized polythene sheets following allegations that the stuff, which was supposed to be distributed
among flood-hit victims in Puri's Kanas block, was being diverted for sale in themarket.
"Some people of Kanas detained the two vehicles and handed them over to us, alleging that the polythene
rolls were illegally transported for sale. We seized the polythene rolls. Since the materials were coming from
Kanas area, we contacted the Kanas police to update us with facts,"IIC(Nirakarpur police station) Dilip
Kumar Sahani said.
"We suspect the relief materials were going to be sold in market. Police should make a thorough probe into
the matter," a Kanas resident said.
Mishra, however, rubbished the allegation. "The polythene rolls were of inferior quality and I had asked my
men to replace them with good quality materials. The rolls were on their way back to the place from where
they where bought," Mishra, who is a lawyer by profession, said. However, he could not name the placefrom where the polythene was procured.
"Moreover, those were not government relief. The polythene rolls were purchased from my own pocket.
Some of my clients also donated money for the purpose," Mishra added.
Mishra alleged that his political rivals had hatched a conspiracy to malign him. Asked how his name and
party symbol appeared on the materials, he said, "Some of my supporters did it without informing me. I
never instructed them to do so."
Recently, some relief packets were spotted bearing the conch symbol in flood-ravaged Kendrapada area. It
came as shot in the arm of the opposition Congress andBJPto rattle the state government. "The ruling BJDis trying to woo voters in view of the forthcoming Panchayat elections," a Congress leader said. BJD leaders
refuted the charge.
