Orissa Flood Alert
A Civil Society Initiative on behalf of
Odisha Water Forum &
Odisha State Center, Forum for Policy Dialogue on Water Conflicts in India
In the year 2009 the Odisha State Centre had come out with flood updates and published Odisha Flood Alert.
That was in the month of July. But this year the monsoon was irregular in July and state almost had a drought
like situation in many of its regions. With the heavy down pour accompanied by low pressure and rain in upper
catchments of the Mahanadi and other rivers, floods have started in many parts of Odisha.

a. Orissa Flood situation : 300 children were trapped in a school building
Friday, 06th August 2010

http://www.allvoices.com/contributed-news/6453542-orissa-flood-situation-300-children-were-trapped-in-a-
school-building
Flood threat looms large over many districts of the state as major rivers including Hati and Bansadhara are
hovering around danger level and showing rising trend. For the past few days, many parts of the state receive
heavy rains under the influence of low pressure formed over Bay of Bengal. Heavy rains also continued to
batter Kalahandi on Thursday leading to increase in inflow to major reservoirs. Revenue and Disaster
Management Minister Suryanarayan Patro has informed that Kalahandi recorded a rainfall of 270mm in the last
24 hours. Similarly, Nabrangpur recorded 170mm rainfall and Jeypore recorded 137 mm rainfall. According to
reports, one person died after being washed away in the floodwaters of river Rushikulya in Ganjam.
About 300 children were trapped in a school building in Nabarangpur district on Thursday, The students were in
the school when surging flood waters of Indravati river submerged Keradimal village in Kosagumuda block,
leaving the children trapped in the building. The trapped students had taken shelter on the terrace of the
school building .The district administration had been directed to take immediate steps to rescue them. A team
of Orissa Disaster Rapid Action Force (ODRAF) has been rushed to district and if required its assistance would
be sought in rescuing the children. Water was also receding and the students were expected to be rescued
soon. In a similar incident in Malkangiri district, four persons were trapped in flood waters and taken shelter
atop a tree in remote Mathili area. Motor boats and ODRAF personnel have been sent to rescue them. Similarly,
the road connectivity between Dharmagad-Navarangpur-Koraput remains cut off and the inflow to Mangalpur
barrage of Indrabati reservoir is on rise due to the continuous downpour. Similarly, the floodwaters of river
Hati has marooned three villages while the road communication on the NH-201 has been affected as the
floodwater is flowing over a bridge near Junagad.
The Collectors and Tehsildars of the flood-affected districts have been directed to provide relief and food
stuffs to the affected people. Two ODRAF units each for Kalahandi and Nabrangpur have been rushed to carry
out relief and rescue operations. River Bansadhara is also flowing over the danger mark and it is expected that
the water level will rise further which could aggravate situation. Moreover, 22 gates of Gata barrage over
Bansadhara at Hiramandalam in Andhra Pradesh have been opened and have also been raised by 1 meter

b. Heavy Rains lash Orissa, Flood Situation worsens
http://www.breakingnewsonline.net/odisha/3265-heavy-rains-lash-orissa-flood-situation-worsens.html
Bhubaneswar: Breaking News! Heavy rains caused by the low pressure disrupted the normal life in several parts
of Orissa. While water logging reported from the twin cities Bhubanewar and Cuttack, flood situation worsened
in some districts.
The worst hit districts are Kalahandi, Gajapati, Koraput, Nabarangpur, Rayagada and Malkanagiri. Several
bridges and culverts were washed away, while overflowing waters blocked the roads in many parts of the state.
Many areas in the above districts are without power and water supply. The mobile services were also cut in
many areas. In Kalahandi, Hati river was flowing above four feet above a bridge in Junagarh, blocking the
Bhawanipatna-Papadahandi road link.
Koshagumuda and Indravati areas are worst-hit. Koshagumuda has been submerged due to heavy rain. Other
areas such as Papadahandi, Dabgugaon, Umerkote, Jharigaon, Chacha and Raighar reported deluge and water
logging. Common people are having a tough time, as rain water entered their houses. They are taking shelter in
safer places leaving behind their belongings.
Several houses were washed away in Nabarangpur and Kalahandi districts. Roofs of the houses collapsed in
many areas. At least 4-5 people are said to be either killed or swept away by flood water. However, no
confirmation has been received so far. In Indravati area, 300 schoolchildren are trapped inside a school, which
was deluged by flood water. ODRAF team has been sent to rescue them.
Several buses, trucks and other private vehicles were forced to stay on the roads, causing big inconvenience to
the passengers. Fresh floods were reported from Koksara, Matikhal, Biripur, Bankapala and Balichara.
The Bansadhara river had crossed the danger level at Kashinagar, but later the water receded. In Malkangiri,
Saberi, Poteru and Sileri rivers are overflowing. The Umerkote-Jeypore road has been blocked because of
overflowing water on many bridges and culverts.
Heavy rainfall may continue for another 24 hours, as the low pressure has intensified further. The capital
Bhubaneswar witnessed water logging in many areas, putting a question mark on BMC's hollow claims that they
were prepared to deal with situation.

the Aska-Damodarpalli road. One of them Sukuru Das could be saved alive by the fire brigade personnel. But his
compatriot Tuna Das got drowned.
Although there are no rivers near Berhampur, its low-lying areas like Gajapati Nagar, Nilanchal Nagar,
Alakapuri etc experienced flood-like situation. Due to lack of proper sewerage system accumulated ranwater
entered the houses in these areas. Residents of Gajapti Nagar area held a demonstration by blocking the NH

these roads. It may be noted that administration has barred vehicles from travelling on roads while mountain
streams overflow them. In the past several buses and trucks have been washed away by the heavy current in
these overflowing mountain steams. Road communication to different areas of Rayagada district like Kashipur
and Chandrapur also remained snapped due to overflowing streams. The Bansadhara and Nagavali rivers were
on the rise in the district but they had not reached danger mark till evening.

g. Widespread rain lifts spirits of farmers
http://www.hindu.com/2010/08/06/stories/2010080651980300.htm
BHUBANESWAR: Widespread rain triggered by a low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal that lashed the State
during past 48 hours seemed to have brought back the smile on faces of lakhs of farmers. The rain proved so
crucial for the State that it brought down the rain-deficit by almost 7 per cent due to downpour on a single
day. Met department sources said by August 4, the State had received an average cumulative rainfall of 482
mm registering 19.8 per cent negative departure from the normal rainfall. Usually by this time the State should
have received an average cumulative rainfall of 602.3 mm. State's rain deficit stood at almost 13 per cent by
the morning. Average rainfall received during past 24 hours was estimated 48.6 mm. Before this the State has
passed through a prolonged dry spell. Districts like Angul and Deogarh had received 35 per cent less rainfall
than the normal. Similarly, coastal district of Kendrapara had recorded 34 per cent deficit rainfall. As per the
rainfall data, Koshagumda received 270 mm, Jaipatna (230 mm), Nawrangpur (180 mm), Krishnaprasad (170
mm) and Bhawanipatna, Umerkot, Jeypore and Pipili (140 mm each rainfall). The 48 hours' rainfall is expected
to infuse new lease of life to agriculture and give farmers confidence to take up farming with new vigour.
‘Monsoon active'
6
“Southwest monsoon has been active over Orissa. The well-marked low pressure area over Bay of Bengal has
remained stationary as a result of which heavy rain is expected during next 48 hours,” said director of
Bhubaneswar meteorological centre S. C. Sahu. However, heavy downpour had made people suffer in a few
pockets. Three villages in Tirpur, Matikhal and Balichana in Kalampur block of Kalahandi district had been cut
off from other parts of the State due to flash flood in the Hati river. Three villagers who were being swept
away by swirling river water had been rescued.
NH 201 water-logged
Water was flowing four feet high over National Highway 201. Road communication in Kalahandi was disrupted
and water-logging restricted movement of people in many places in Kalahandi which received 119 mm of
rainfall on Wednesday. Since morning, the capital city and Cuttack had been receiving incessant rain. Met
office sources said residents experienced 65.2 mm rainfall, one of the highest recorded in the State. Several
low-lying areas have been submerged while officials from Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation rushed to the
spot the clear water-logging.
h. Flash floods maroon many in Orissa
http://expressbuzz.com/states/orissa/flash-floods-maroon-many-in-orissa/195949.html
BHUBANESWAR: Well-markedand closing in onto the coast, the low pressure triggered heavy showers across
Orissa in last 24 hours. So widespread was the rain, Nabarangpur and Kalahandi districts experienced first flash
floods of the season.
Nabarangpur received 249.9 mm rain, while Kalahandi received 120 mm in just one day. the downpour
marooned more than 10,000 in Jaipatna, thuamulRampur, Koksara and Junagarh blocks of Kalahandi. A unit of
Orissa Disaster Rapid Action Force was mobilised while the Government has put on alert the Indian Air Force
base at Kaleikunda.
Similarly, the ODRAF team stationed at Koraput was directed to move to nabarangpur for relief operation
where several villages were flooded. highest rainfall of the day was recorded at Kosagumuda in which received
266 mm followed by 227 mm at Kalahandi’s Jaipatna. Similarly, the northern district Bhadrak recorded 55 mm
whereas Puri received close to 90 mm.
The State, which has been reeling under a dry spell, today saw rivers filling up following the continuous
showers. Although the two major rivers of south Orissa Vanshadhara and Rushikulya were flowing close to their
warning levels, the rest were well below. Vansadhara was flowing at 53.60 metre at Kashinagar against the
danger level of 54.60 metre while Rushikulya at 14.09 metre, much below the danger mark of 16.84 metre.
Mahanadi river system, however, remained stable with the tributaries not feeding it so significantly. With a
flow measured at 2.91 lakh cusec at Munduli, it was far from posing any danger. ten gates of hirakud reservoir
have been opened since the rains have lashed the river up north in Chhattisgarh.
The India Meteorological Department said the low pressure was moving into the coast and will take the route
over Puri and Bhubaneswar. However, it will not intensify after crossing over to the land and weaken
subsequently.
But it is likely to cause more rains in the next 24 hours. heavy to very heavy showers are also expected at a few
places. Flooding apart, the showers helped reduce the rainfall deficit Orissa has witnessed this season as yet.
By Wednesday, the average cumulative rainfall for the period June 1-August 4 was 482.8 mm against a normal
of 602.3 mm registering a 19.8 percent deficit. In the last 24 hours, the State received 48.6 mm that bridged
the gap by at least seven percent.
i. Heavy rain pours same old woes
7
http://www.telegraphindia.com/1100806/jsp/orissa/story_12778621.jsp
Bhubaneswar, Aug. 5: Two days of heavy rainfall in the city, triggered by a low pressure over Bay of Bengal,
deluged many areas. It threw normal life out of gear and caused widespread disruption in the transport
system. Areas like Saheed Nagar, Satya Nagar, Kharavela Nagar, Nayapalli, Shastri Nagar, Gajapati Nagar,
Dumduma, Jagamara and Bhimatangi were worst affected. At some of the places the water level has not
receded even in the past 12 hours. In the last 24 hours Bhubaneswar received about 90mm of rainfall.
However, the bad news for the residents is that they would have to face problems of water-logging for a few
more days. The weatherman has predicted heavy rainfall for the next 24 hours. Sandip Mishra, a local
resident, said: “The Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) is solely responsible for this. It started road-
widening work just before the monsoon and dug up many parts of the city. But it didn’t bother to complete the
work before the onset of the monsoon.
“At many places in the city, construction materials have been piled up on both sides of the road. This is
preventing the smooth flow of water into the drains. This water-logging problem is totally a man-made one.”
Chitaranjan Beura, another resident, added: “The Bhubaneswar Development Authority (BDA) is equally
responsible for this. The situation has been the same for the last 4-5 years. But earlier only low-lying areas of
the city used to get flooded. Now, due to lack of proper planning, the drainage system is in a total mess. This
has caused a flood-like situation in even those areas which are not low-lying.” The BMC has set up an
emergency cell to receive complains of water-logging. Three sets of diesel pumps, motorboats and excavators
have been kept ready to flush out water from residential areas. In the last 12 hours, BMC has received five
complaints and all those have been addressed.
“We are ready to address any kind of emergency. Extra pumping sets would be hired if the situation demands,”
said Gadadhar Parida, the BMC commissioner. However, he agreed that the blockage of drainage systems and
the dug-up roads have led to this flood-like situation. “We have already taken up the matter with the water
resource department. The renovation work would be undertaken on a public-private-partnership basis. Out of
the nine major drainage systems, tender has been floated for renovating three. For the others, the tender
would be floated by the end of this month. The renovation work would start in the next two months,” added
Parida.
Under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM), Rs 68.4 crore has been sanctioned for
renovation of three drainage systems — Vani Vihar, Laxmi Sagar and BDA Nicco Park, he said. The BMC, the
public health department and the health department are geared up to tackle any health-related issue. Capital
Hospital, Municipal Corporation Hospital and all the six zonal hospitals have been instructed by the health
department to store adequate amount of medicines for treating people complaining of diarrhoea,
gastroenteritis, jaundice and other water-borne diseases. “A round-the-clock service has been started at the
diarrhoea ward of Capital Hospital. For treatment of other water-borne diseases, another special ward has
been set up,” said Dr Gangadhar Rath, chief medical officer, Capital Hospital. “Municipal Corporation Hospital
and other zonal hospitals are also equipped with sufficient medicines needed in cases of emergency.
Arrangements have been made to provide 24-hour service in these hospitals too,” said mayor Ananta Narayan
Jena.
The public health department has also taken steps to ensure clean and hygienic water supply to housing
societies in the city. “Over 1.10 lakh households have been provided pipe water supply. We are taking extra
care to check leakages in pipelines,” said Monoranjan Nanda, executive engineer, PWD, Division-2. However,
many areas under the BMC are yet to be connected with pipe water supply. Areas like Naharkanta, Nakhara,
Kalinga Nagar, Dumuduma, Ghatikia and Mendhasala do not have pipe water supply. People residing in these
areas have either dug up bore wells or are depending on tube wells. “We will disinfect the tube wells and
other open wells every seven days. I am inspecting the sanitation work in these areas,” the major added. “A
detailed plan has been made to connect the areas with pipe water under JNNURM within two years. About Rs
600 crore has been earmarked for this,” Nanda said. The BMC has also taken steps to disinfect major water
bodies like Bindusagar in Old Town, Sundarpada Lake, Gauduni Pokhari near Kalpana and Santha Tulasidas
Sarobar near Nakhara. “Many people depend on these water bodies. If they are not disinfected, people may
suffer from many types of water-borne diseases,” the BMC commissioner said.
