2. Selected News from Local English Media2 (28th Sep, 2011) a. Government attacked for not seeking army aid Express News Service Last Updated : 27 Sep 2011 12:20:29 PM IST

BHUBANESWAR: The BJP on Monday slammed the Government for not seeking assistance of the Army and the Navy for rescue and relief operations in the flood-affected districts. "The Government should have taken military assistance as it has failed to reach many areas where people are still trapped in flood water without food, senior BJP leader BB Harichandan told mediapersons here. Alleging that the Government has miserably failed to rescue the marooned people and provide relief to them, the former minister said many areas of Jajpur and Kendrapara districts are not accessible even today. The Orissa Disaster Rapid Action Force (ODRAF) teams are unable to reach many villages in Jajpur and Kendrapara districts because of high water current. Even supply of food through airdropping is not possible in many areas of Bari, Aul and Rajkanika blocks, Harichandan said after visiting several areas of Jajpur district. He further alleged that food materials had not reached 50 anganwadi centres providing supplementary nutrition to children, pregnant and lactating mothers. The first and second spell of floods exposed the Governments lack of preparedness to handle such calamities. He urged the Government to rush relief materials to the marooned people and those taking shelter on river banks without delay. The BJP leader said the affected people in Korei block were complaining of not getting polythene. When lakhs of people are suffering due to floods, the Government is shamelessly busy in making political appointments to various cooperative societies and corporations, he criticised.2

Odisha Flood Alert

JAIPUR: For the last five days, people in Bari block have been spending nights on roof tops to evade flood water. With water level in the Brahmani and the Kharasrota rivers showing no signs of receding, the worst seems far from over. Bari block has been the worst affected in the recent floods with surging water submerging most villages here. The gravity of the situation can be gauged from the fact that helicopters failed to drop food packs to the flood-affected people on Monday due to paucity of dry land. The flood has affected over 1.5 lakh people of 98 villages under 29 gram panchayats in the block. Senior bureaucrat and former Jajpur collector Arvind Kumar Padhee called a coordination meeting of the top officials at the collectorate to expedite the rescue and relief operation. At least 16 boats have been pressed into service to carry relief materials to the flood victims, he said. Padhee has been camping at the worst-hit Bari since Sunday. Eight breaches were reported on river embankments here in the fresh spell of floods. Meanwhile, the State Government has banned transportation of minerals on NH-5 and 5 (A) to allow free movement of relief materials, he said. Official sources said over 6 lakh people of 603 villages under 153 gram panchayats spread over 10 blocks of the district have been marooned in the latest flood. The deluge has claimed eight lives in the district till now.

g. Flood stress' leads five to try suicide in Keonjhar dist Times of India, TNN | Sep 27, 2011, 11.19PM IST

Keonjhar: At least five persons, including two women, attempted suicide in the worst flood-affected Hatadihi block area. All victims allegedly consumed pesticide and were admitted to Salania community health center under Nandipada police station. Out of them, a woman, died in the hospital, while others were shifted to different hospitals in Anandpur, Bhadrak and Cuttack after their situation deteriorated, sources said. The deceased woman was identified as Anusuya Panda (50) of Ichhapur village. Police attributed the woman's death to family disturbances. "Last night three poisoning cases came to the hospital, out of which one person has died," said Dr Asit Biswal of Salania CHC hospital. "Four persons allegedly attempted suicide after consuming pesticide and were admitted to Salania CHC. Out of them died early in the morning. The cause of the suicide attempts is yet to be known. But preliminary investigation reveals that family problems led to the people attempting suicide," said additional district magistrate Brajakishore Naik. People in the region are under a lot of stress due to enormous losses suffered in the floods. Many flood victims are yet to get any relief and have been living under miserable conditions without any food or shelter. Thousands of hectares of crop fields have been submerged and damaged in the floods, affecting the cultivation dependent population badly. Locals suspect flood related depression and tension may have led to the five people attempting suicide.

According to sources, Hatadihi block of Keonjhar district is the worst affected block in Keonjhar in recent floods. More than 60,000 people of 82 villages of 13 gram panchayats of Hatadihi block have been affected in the recent floods in Baitarani river. h. Crumbs of relief no match for deluge Times of India, Ashis Senapati, TNN | Sep 27, 2011, 11.23PM IST Kendrapada: A helicopter hovered over a cluster of mud houses poking over the submerged village of Taradipala in Kendrapada district on Tuesday. The marooned villagers scrambled towards the chopper, arms aloft in desperate hope of getting some relief, eyes scrunched against the tornado whipped up by the copter blades. Most of the at least 10 lakh flood-affected hungry and water-borne diseases endangered villagers of Bari, Dasarathapur, Badachana, Korei, Dharmasala and Binjharpur blocks of Jajpur district and Aul, Rajkanika and Rajnagar blocks of Kendrapada district, remain in desperate need for aid as floods just refuse to abate. Even as many low-lying areas are submerged in some seven feet deep water with most of the mud houses of villagers completely destroyed in the deluge, some people have their own unique, desperate reasons for staying put in marooned areas. In Rathasahi village in Bari block, 80-year-old Janakiballava Rath refused to leave the village as nobody came forward to help his paralyzed wife Rangalata to move out from the marooned area. Still others have had no choice but to bear with the flood misery. Sarada Swain in her 40s, stayed marooned for four days inside her flooded house in Ostia village, along with an eight-member family she was sheltering, before being rescued by a boat. When the floodwater was flowing, she was advised by relatives and family friends to leave her house but she underestimated the fury of the floods and had refused to leave. "We have never experienced such a horrible situation. We had stocked some food items and ration when the floods began, thinking it would be enough to tide by the floods, but it proved to be too little against the massive floods," Sarada said. The district administration meanwhile continues to claim to be trying its best to reach out to the affected people. "The authority has deployed 321 boats to rescue the marooned people. Besides, we have opened 93 free kitchen centers in the flood-affected areas. Coast guard personnel have been deployed to speed up rescue operations. The death toll has reached 20 on Monday," said Kendrapada district collector P K Patnaik. "Nearly 6,56,441 persons of 588 villages of Jajpur have been marooned in the second phase of flood as rivers breached at least 33 sites," said Bijayalaxmi Jena, emergency officer of Jajpur district.

The Pioneer, Wednesday, 28 September 2011 01:35 PNS | BhubaneswarConcerned over the repeated flood fury and the harrowing problems in reaching out to the distressed in marooned areas, the State Government on Tuesday decided to construct Integrated Flood Shelters on high land in all the command areas of major river systems to facilitate rescue and relief operations. According to official sources, the new flood shelter plan was mooted by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik at a high-level meeting held at State secretariat to review the flood situation and the relief and rescue operations. Patnaik, the sources said, has directed the Revenue Department authorities in charge of disaster management to prepare a comprehensive plan on putting up of flood shelters, permanent helipads and

construction of godowns to stock food and required material including medicines in compact high lands in the chronic flood areas. The integrated project would help avoid the bottlenecks being faced by the administration during high floods in reaching the relief material to the affected people without any delay and to undertake rescue operations from the cut-off areas to save precious human lives, the sources said. Patnaik has asked the Revenue officials to locate strategic and safe places, as far as flood is concerned, in all the areas criss-crossing the river systems in the entire State, whether coastal, western, northern or southern districts, immediately after the current floods subside. During the current floods since the first week of September, the administration could not undertake rescue operations at many places and even was not able to provide relief material through aerial route as there was no landmass left for dropping of food packets. The waters were so pervasive and the current of the flood waters was so intense that it even the trained ODRAF and NDRAF teams could not venture to undertake rescue operations. The sources said that the State Government would seek Central assistance for taking up the Integrated Flood Shelter projects in a massive way. The Chief Minister, during the review, also directed the authorities to accelerate the relief and restoration measures and ensure provision of cooked food to those flood victims camping in relief centres and embankments and other safe places till they returned to their respective homes. He also asked the health authorities to move around the affected villages and the camps to provide health services and disinfect water sources to check the possible outbreak of flood-related diseases. Patnaik also asked the Special Relief Commissioner to continue airdropping of food packets in the worstaffected and marooned areas spread over Kendrapada, Jajpur and Bhadrakh districts. He instructed that the flood affected people should be provided all care and treated with honour during relief distribution. Meanwhile, Patnaik on Tuesday had been to Sambalpur, Bargarh and Subarnapur areas affected during the first spell of floods. Sharing concerns of the affected people, during interaction, Patnaik is reported to have assured that they would be provided with house building assistance within the stipulated period. He also assured that the affected farmers would get compensation towards their crop loss and would be provided with agricultural inputs which include subsidised seeds and fertilisers to take up Rabi cultivation. k.

Orissa to construct permanent helipads in flood-prone areas PTI | 10:09 PM,Sep 27,2011 Bhubaneswar, Sep 27 (PTI) Facing difficulties in execution of relief operation during natural calamities with areas waterlogged for days, the Orissa government today decided to construct permanent helipads in coastal region.A meeting chaired by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik decided to build the helipad in the wake of failure in air-dropping of food packets in Bari block of Jajpur district flooded by swollen Brahmani and Baitarani rivers, official sources said.The state government had to stop air-dropping of food packets yesterday in Bari area as the pilots could not find any dry or high land for dropping, Revenue and Disaster Management Minister S N Patro said.Had there been a helipad in the area, relief operation could have been carried out smoothly, he said."As road communication get snapped due to high floods, air-dropping of food packets is the only option left with the government. But, when that is hampered due to lack of dry places, people's suffering gets compounded," Patro said.Permanent helipads would be constructed in Kendrapara, Jagatsinghpur, Puri, Cuttack, Jajpur Bhadrak and Balasore district, the sources said.This apart, Patnaik had also asked the officials to construct flood centres along high lands where distressed people could be sheltered during the calamities and godowns to store relief materials. m. Tens of thousands stranded by floodwaters in India

Aftab Alam Siddiqui / AP, updated 9/27/2011 10:33:56 AM ET 2011-09-27T14:33:56

BHUBANESHWAR, India Indian air force helicopters dropped food parcels and hundreds of boats shuttled stranded people to safer ground as surging floodwaters hit eastern India. The floods caused by heavy rains have inundated more than 3,000 villages in Orissa state that are home to more than 2 million people. Orissa relief commissioner P.K. Mohapatra says five people were missing Tuesday in addition to the 27 killed in the eastern state since Friday. More than 120,000 people have evacuated but tens of thousands are still marooned. Air force helicopters are delivering food, and more than 370 boats were relocating stranded residents. More than 77 people have died in Orissa since the monsoons began in August. Flooding also killed at least 44 since Friday in northern Uttar Pradesh and Bihar states. In Bihar, 13 people have died over the past three days when mud houses collapsed due to incessant rain, or trees fell on them, crushing residents. Rescue workers were helping people stranded on rooftops to move to government buildings on higher ground. In Patna, Bihar's capital, officials said flooding was grim in the northern districts as the water in the Ganges River was flowing above the danger level in many places.

Mighty Animal Rescue Team in India Battling Epic Flood Care2 , Laura S. September, 27, 201111:00 pm Read more: http://www.care2.com/causes/mighty-animal-rescue-team-in-india-battling-epicflood.html#ixzz1ZGdWrG1W BBC News reports that more than two million people in India have been affected by monstrous floods as torrential rains lash the Uttar Pradesh and Bihar states. In the coastal region of Orissa alone, 10 districts deluged by the monsoon are now drowning under the weight of three rivers. And while helicopters are dropping food for the humans, there is one mighty team working day and night to save the animals of floodravaged India. Action for Protection of Wild Animals (APOWA) has been traveling by boat and by boot to the hardest hit areas in a desperate attempt to relieve the suffering of the animals there. The team, which includes veterinarians and volunteers, has been providing emergency food, veterinary treatment and repair of damaged animal shelters. Theyre distributing hundreds of bags of food for cattle, goats and dogs. Here around ninety percent of animal shelters, made with thatched houses, have completely collapsed, explains APOWA Director Bijaya Kumar Kabi. Temporary shelters are now essential for flood victims. Our vet doctors are finding diarrhea, anorexia, respiratory problems, hoof rot and mineral deficiency in the animals, Bijaya continues. We cant stop now, even as our own office and shelter house are under threat from flash floods. For some villages, the rescuers from APOWA are the very first aid theyve seen, even though were now two weeks into the disaster. Having been a part of emergency relief operations in Latin America, I am all too familiar with this scenario. You truly cant imagine what its like to hand a family a 40 pound sack of dog food knowing that the adults and their children are likely to eat the kibble alongside their pets because they cant bear the endless wait for help from relief agencies. To watch animals slowly die of starvation and diarrhea, well, it leaves a scar that never heals and while I cant be in India this week to help with my own two hands, I do believe theres something equally significant I can do to help. As founder of the Harmony Fund international animal rescue charity, Im asking for your support for APOWAs powerful rescue efforts in India. 100 percent of the donations we receive over the next 72 hours will be exclusively restricted for the animal rescue efforts in India. Every dollar that comes in will go toward the purchase of veterinary medicines, food and materials to put up temporary animal shelters to replace the ones that have been washed away. This is not a crisis that will pass this week or this month. Recovery will take a very long time and I ask you to please look at the photos Ive posted here and decide for yourself if youd like to lend a hand. o.

JAIPUR: Even as the Brahmani and its tributaries relented on Tuesday, there has been no let-up in the flood situation in Bari. The entire block continued to remain under 8-10 feet water for the fifth consecutive day. Flood water has submerged Baruan-Bari, Bari-Ratnagiri and Brahmabarada-Bari roads, snapping communication links with Bari. This has hampered relief and rescue operations in the 98 villages under 29 gram panchayats of the block. We have been without food for the last five days, said Narayan Das of Kalamatia village. Like others, he along with his family has taken shelter on the roof-top of a building. Domestic animals too are in a pitiable state without fodder. With communication links snapped, the district administration is finding it difficult to reach out to the floodhit. Efforts are being made to establish contact with the marooned villagers. About 40 boats have been pressed into service to provide relief to the stranded people, said senior bureaucrat Arvind Padhee, who has been camping at Bari since Sunday. The relief team has rescued a few sick and pregnant women, who are undergoing treatment in mobile hospitals, he added. Over 6 lakh people of 603 villages spread over 10 blocks of the district have been affected by floods in the Baitarani, the Brahmani, the Kharasrota, Kani, Budha, Tantighai and Kelua rivers. As many as 27 breaches were reported following the fresh spell of floods. With a portion of Rudhia bridge crashing in the swelling flood water, the district headquarters town was cut off from the rest of Orissa. Meanwhile, a Central team visited the flood-hit areas of Jajpur district on Monday afternoon.

The federal government has deployed air force and navy personnel along with the National Disaster Rapid Force to rescue residents trapped in flooded villages. Caritas India, the social arm of the local Church, as well as the Catholic Relief Service have joined relief and rescue operations. No matter how much relief materials we distribute, they are nothing in view of the huge calamity facing Orissa, Sailendra Pattnaik, a senior program officer at CRS, said September 27. Pattnaik said the Church aid agencies are collaborating with government agencies and local NGOs. Orissa Governor MC Bhandare has helped distribute Church relief materials and we are in constant engagement of local administration for this, Pattnaik added. Francis Barla, who oversees Caritas operations in Orissa, and doctors from St Johns Medical College in Bangalore have come to give assistance as health camps have become quite critical for flood-hit areas. The Catholic Hospital Association of India, the largest network of Church health workers, has also sent in volunteers. Catholic Charities, the social service wing of Cuttack-Bhubaneswar archdiocese, is also collaborating with the Orissa Forum for Social Action to support victims of the latest flooding. Sister Vani, a health worker, said relief workers are also attending to several snake-bite victims. According to her, Church workers are assisting in areas where government agencies have yet to reach. William Wilson, a physician in the St Johns Medical College team, said he is treating some 300 patients daily.
