The Collector is not hererdquo replied a telephone attendant at his residence And the District Magistratersquos mobile was switched off The Additional District Magistrate is sick so he has left the headquarters The Sub-Collector was also absent
When hundreds of hapless victims of floods tried to contact these top officials in Jagatsinghpur district they drew blank The district is in throes of heavy floods but the officials are enjoying Sunday in Bhubaneswar they alleged Vast areas of Ersama Balikuda and adjacent places are experiencing floods and there is no one to take care of the victims also allege peoplesrsquo representatives
Minister Agriculture and Cooperation Damodar Rout who hails from the district lost his cool He rang up the higher-ups in the bureaucracy and informed them the state of affairs in the district
The Ministerrsquos wakeup call sparked sensation in the higher echelons of the bureaucracy And all on a sudden top bosses became proactive Within a few hours the Collector reached district headquarters to oversee the relief operations for the victims
If this is the condition in a politically sensitive coastal district what happens to the far-flung areas of the State wondered a former Chief Secretary Most of the Collectors and senior officials having their families in Bhubaneswar retain their official quarters in the State capital city and enjoy lsquoFrench Leaversquo thanks to the callous attitude of higher bosses feel watchers of the bureaucracy
This is bound to happen when the top officials adopt the SMS mode for administration and oldies are preferred as Collectors they say

p Sun Temple under knee-deep water
Tuesday Jul 21 2009httpwwwhinducom20090721stories2009072153400300htm
Bhubaneswar The Sun Temple at Konark a World Heritage site 60 km from here was knee-deep in water on Monday following torrential rains triggered by low pressure threatening the structure and inconveniencing tourists
Visitors to the Sun Temple also known as Black Pagoda had to wade through two to three feet deep water which had accumulated around the historic site following heavy downpour
While a large number of tourists returned without having a proper look at the world famous monument since Sunday some of the visitors waded through the water to view the temple
ldquoIt was extremely difficult to reach the temple due to water-logging Though I managed to reach the structure my wife failed to do so as she found it toughrdquo said Chinmay a 40-year-old visitor after returning from Konark

Odisha Flood Alert- July 21 2009
For his wife Pratiti the visit turned out to be highly disheartening ldquoThe authorities should have taken steps to unclog the drains near the templerdquo she said
Locals pointed out that water-logging at the Sun Temple has been a regular feature for the last couple of years
ldquoWhenever it rains heavily for long the problem crops up as there is no proper outletrdquo said a resident of a nearby village
A social worker from the area Rabindra Kumar Bahinipati said water-logging could damage the temple Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has built a soak pit and when excess water accumulates it is pumped out
Bahinipati said prolonged water-logging which is an acute problem on the northern side of the 13th century monument is likely to have an adverse impact on the structure
ldquoThough plans are afoot to put in place a proper drainage system around the Sun Temple but no concrete measure has been takenrdquo he said
Senior ASI officials were not available to throw light on the problem and measures being taken to deal with it
The historical monument has been in news recently with reports of dislocation of some stones from the structure sparking apprehension about its preservation
Following this Orissa government had last month asked a joint committee comprising representatives of ASI district administration of Puri and State culture department to verify the matter and submit a report
ASI which looks after protection of the temple has been maintaining that the monument was in a good state the sources said -- PTI

Tuesday July 21 2009httpwwwhinducom20090721stories2009072152030300htmWhen flood comes it brings misery for thousands of people but family members of engineers posted in coastal districts distribute sweet among themselves expecting a good harvest The lsquojokersquo has been doing round ever since heavy rain started pounding the State Villagers say weak embankments will get breached in first floodwater When lives are at stake funds from State exchequer will flow without any obstructions Here comes the harvesting time for engineers and their political bosses they points out Embankments are temporarily repaired and kept ready to be breached during the next year flood According to them it gives local politicians opportunities to get closer to people and make their presence felt The other side of the story is that some people knowingly break embankment to make their uncultivated land submerged They also get good compensationEye opener
An aged woman sanitary worker who used to work in a street of the city used to ask for Rs 20 from each household
She was charging it for the cleaning of the street every day When asked whether she was being paid by the Berhampur Municipal Corporation (BMC) she had an eye opener as her answer
According to her she was not employed by the BMC She had to fish out Rs 1000 to get this job from the BMC appointed sanitary worker of the area
But she was happy with her job
She had no idea that she was being exploited by a person who had subleased his work to her while he was enjoying the pay
But for the woman the official sanitary worker who had unofficially appointed him was a saviour
ldquoHe may be drunkard but he has provided income source to three women like merdquo she said In a tone of obligation she added that the sanitary worker who had appointed her was also paying her Rs 500 every alternate month

The Collector is not hererdquo replied a telephone attendant at his residence And the District Magistratersquos mobile was switched off The Additional District Magistrate is sick so he has left the headquarters The Sub-Collector was also absent
When hundreds of hapless victims of floods tried to contact these top officials in Jagatsinghpur district they drew blank The district is in throes of heavy floods but the officials are enjoying Sunday in Bhubaneswar they alleged Vast areas of Ersama Balikuda and adjacent places are experiencing floods and there is no one to take care of the victims also allege peoplesrsquo representatives
Minister Agriculture and Cooperation Damodar Rout who hails from the district lost his cool He rang up the higher-ups in the bureaucracy and informed them the state of affairs in the district
The Ministerrsquos wakeup call sparked sensation in the higher echelons of the bureaucracy And all on a sudden top bosses became proactive Within a few hours the Collector reached district headquarters to oversee the relief operations for the victims
If this is the condition in a politically sensitive coastal district what happens to the far-flung areas of the State wondered a former Chief Secretary Most of the Collectors and senior officials having their families in Bhubaneswar retain their official quarters in the State capital city and enjoy lsquoFrench Leaversquo thanks to the callous attitude of higher bosses feel watchers of the bureaucracy
This is bound to happen when the top officials adopt the SMS mode for administration and oldies are preferred as Collectors they say

CUTTACK Incessant rains coupled with rising water-levels in the Mahanadi and Kathjodi rivers forcing closure of sluice gates on the major storm water channels (MSWC) today placed the millennium city in a dicey situation fuelling fears of widespread inundation and waterlogging

p Sun Temple under knee-deep water
Tuesday Jul 21 2009httpwwwhinducom20090721stories2009072153400300htm
Bhubaneswar The Sun Temple at Konark a World Heritage site 60 km from here was knee-deep in water on Monday following torrential rains triggered by low pressure threatening the structure and inconveniencing tourists
Visitors to the Sun Temple also known as Black Pagoda had to wade through two to three feet deep water which had accumulated around the historic site following heavy downpour
While a large number of tourists returned without having a proper look at the world famous monument since Sunday some of the visitors waded through the water to view the temple
ldquoIt was extremely difficult to reach the temple due to water-logging Though I managed to reach the structure my wife failed to do so as she found it toughrdquo said Chinmay a 40-year-old visitor after returning from Konark

Odisha Flood Alert- July 21 2009
For his wife Pratiti the visit turned out to be highly disheartening ldquoThe authorities should have taken steps to unclog the drains near the templerdquo she said
Locals pointed out that water-logging at the Sun Temple has been a regular feature for the last couple of years
ldquoWhenever it rains heavily for long the problem crops up as there is no proper outletrdquo said a resident of a nearby village
A social worker from the area Rabindra Kumar Bahinipati said water-logging could damage the temple Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has built a soak pit and when excess water accumulates it is pumped out
Bahinipati said prolonged water-logging which is an acute problem on the northern side of the 13th century monument is likely to have an adverse impact on the structure
ldquoThough plans are afoot to put in place a proper drainage system around the Sun Temple but no concrete measure has been takenrdquo he said
Senior ASI officials were not available to throw light on the problem and measures being taken to deal with it
The historical monument has been in news recently with reports of dislocation of some stones from the structure sparking apprehension about its preservation
Following this Orissa government had last month asked a joint committee comprising representatives of ASI district administration of Puri and State culture department to verify the matter and submit a report
ASI which looks after protection of the temple has been maintaining that the monument was in a good state the sources said -- PTI

An aged woman sanitary worker who used to work in a street of the city used to ask for Rs 20 from each household
She was charging it for the cleaning of the street every day When asked whether she was being paid by the Berhampur Municipal Corporation (BMC) she had an eye opener as her answer
According to her she was not employed by the BMC She had to fish out Rs 1000 to get this job from the BMC appointed sanitary worker of the area
But she was happy with her job
She had no idea that she was being exploited by a person who had subleased his work to her while he was enjoying the pay
But for the woman the official sanitary worker who had unofficially appointed him was a saviour
ldquoHe may be drunkard but he has provided income source to three women like merdquo she said In a tone of obligation she added that the sanitary worker who had appointed her was also paying her Rs 500 every alternate month

The Collector is not hererdquo replied a telephone attendant at his residence And the District Magistratersquos mobile was switched off The Additional District Magistrate is sick so he has left the headquarters The Sub-Collector was also absent
When hundreds of hapless victims of floods tried to contact these top officials in Jagatsinghpur district they drew blank The district is in throes of heavy floods but the officials are enjoying Sunday in Bhubaneswar they alleged Vast areas of Ersama Balikuda and adjacent places are experiencing floods and there is no one to take care of the victims also allege peoplesrsquo representatives
Minister Agriculture and Cooperation Damodar Rout who hails from the district lost his cool He rang up the higher-ups in the bureaucracy and informed them the state of affairs in the district
The Ministerrsquos wakeup call sparked sensation in the higher echelons of the bureaucracy And all on a sudden top bosses became proactive Within a few hours the Collector reached district headquarters to oversee the relief operations for the victims
If this is the condition in a politically sensitive coastal district what happens to the far-flung areas of the State wondered a former Chief Secretary Most of the Collectors and senior officials having their families in Bhubaneswar retain their official quarters in the State capital city and enjoy lsquoFrench Leaversquo thanks to the callous attitude of higher bosses feel watchers of the bureaucracy
This is bound to happen when the top officials adopt the SMS mode for administration and oldies are preferred as Collectors they say

CUTTACK Incessant rains coupled with rising water-levels in the Mahanadi and Kathjodi rivers forcing closure of sluice gates on the major storm water channels (MSWC) today placed the millennium city in a dicey situation fuelling fears of widespread inundation and waterlogging

p Sun Temple under knee-deep water
Tuesday Jul 21 2009httpwwwhinducom20090721stories2009072153400300htm
Bhubaneswar The Sun Temple at Konark a World Heritage site 60 km from here was knee-deep in water on Monday following torrential rains triggered by low pressure threatening the structure and inconveniencing tourists
Visitors to the Sun Temple also known as Black Pagoda had to wade through two to three feet deep water which had accumulated around the historic site following heavy downpour
While a large number of tourists returned without having a proper look at the world famous monument since Sunday some of the visitors waded through the water to view the temple
ldquoIt was extremely difficult to reach the temple due to water-logging Though I managed to reach the structure my wife failed to do so as she found it toughrdquo said Chinmay a 40-year-old visitor after returning from Konark

Odisha Flood Alert- July 21 2009
For his wife Pratiti the visit turned out to be highly disheartening ldquoThe authorities should have taken steps to unclog the drains near the templerdquo she said
Locals pointed out that water-logging at the Sun Temple has been a regular feature for the last couple of years
ldquoWhenever it rains heavily for long the problem crops up as there is no proper outletrdquo said a resident of a nearby village
A social worker from the area Rabindra Kumar Bahinipati said water-logging could damage the temple Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has built a soak pit and when excess water accumulates it is pumped out
Bahinipati said prolonged water-logging which is an acute problem on the northern side of the 13th century monument is likely to have an adverse impact on the structure
ldquoThough plans are afoot to put in place a proper drainage system around the Sun Temple but no concrete measure has been takenrdquo he said
Senior ASI officials were not available to throw light on the problem and measures being taken to deal with it
The historical monument has been in news recently with reports of dislocation of some stones from the structure sparking apprehension about its preservation
Following this Orissa government had last month asked a joint committee comprising representatives of ASI district administration of Puri and State culture department to verify the matter and submit a report
ASI which looks after protection of the temple has been maintaining that the monument was in a good state the sources said -- PTI

An aged woman sanitary worker who used to work in a street of the city used to ask for Rs 20 from each household
She was charging it for the cleaning of the street every day When asked whether she was being paid by the Berhampur Municipal Corporation (BMC) she had an eye opener as her answer
According to her she was not employed by the BMC She had to fish out Rs 1000 to get this job from the BMC appointed sanitary worker of the area
But she was happy with her job
She had no idea that she was being exploited by a person who had subleased his work to her while he was enjoying the pay
But for the woman the official sanitary worker who had unofficially appointed him was a saviour
ldquoHe may be drunkard but he has provided income source to three women like merdquo she said In a tone of obligation she added that the sanitary worker who had appointed her was also paying her Rs 500 every alternate month

The Collector is not hererdquo replied a telephone attendant at his residence And the District Magistratersquos mobile was switched off The Additional District Magistrate is sick so he has left the headquarters The Sub-Collector was also absent
When hundreds of hapless victims of floods tried to contact these top officials in Jagatsinghpur district they drew blank The district is in throes of heavy floods but the officials are enjoying Sunday in Bhubaneswar they alleged Vast areas of Ersama Balikuda and adjacent places are experiencing floods and there is no one to take care of the victims also allege peoplesrsquo representatives
Minister Agriculture and Cooperation Damodar Rout who hails from the district lost his cool He rang up the higher-ups in the bureaucracy and informed them the state of affairs in the district
The Ministerrsquos wakeup call sparked sensation in the higher echelons of the bureaucracy And all on a sudden top bosses became proactive Within a few hours the Collector reached district headquarters to oversee the relief operations for the victims
If this is the condition in a politically sensitive coastal district what happens to the far-flung areas of the State wondered a former Chief Secretary Most of the Collectors and senior officials having their families in Bhubaneswar retain their official quarters in the State capital city and enjoy lsquoFrench Leaversquo thanks to the callous attitude of higher bosses feel watchers of the bureaucracy
This is bound to happen when the top officials adopt the SMS mode for administration and oldies are preferred as Collectors they say

CUTTACK Incessant rains coupled with rising water-levels in the Mahanadi and Kathjodi rivers forcing closure of sluice gates on the major storm water channels (MSWC) today placed the millennium city in a dicey situation fuelling fears of widespread inundation and waterlogging

p Sun Temple under knee-deep water
Tuesday Jul 21 2009httpwwwhinducom20090721stories2009072153400300htm
Bhubaneswar The Sun Temple at Konark a World Heritage site 60 km from here was knee-deep in water on Monday following torrential rains triggered by low pressure threatening the structure and inconveniencing tourists
Visitors to the Sun Temple also known as Black Pagoda had to wade through two to three feet deep water which had accumulated around the historic site following heavy downpour
While a large number of tourists returned without having a proper look at the world famous monument since Sunday some of the visitors waded through the water to view the temple
ldquoIt was extremely difficult to reach the temple due to water-logging Though I managed to reach the structure my wife failed to do so as she found it toughrdquo said Chinmay a 40-year-old visitor after returning from Konark

Odisha Flood Alert- July 21 2009
For his wife Pratiti the visit turned out to be highly disheartening ldquoThe authorities should have taken steps to unclog the drains near the templerdquo she said
Locals pointed out that water-logging at the Sun Temple has been a regular feature for the last couple of years
ldquoWhenever it rains heavily for long the problem crops up as there is no proper outletrdquo said a resident of a nearby village
A social worker from the area Rabindra Kumar Bahinipati said water-logging could damage the temple Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has built a soak pit and when excess water accumulates it is pumped out
Bahinipati said prolonged water-logging which is an acute problem on the northern side of the 13th century monument is likely to have an adverse impact on the structure
ldquoThough plans are afoot to put in place a proper drainage system around the Sun Temple but no concrete measure has been takenrdquo he said
Senior ASI officials were not available to throw light on the problem and measures being taken to deal with it
The historical monument has been in news recently with reports of dislocation of some stones from the structure sparking apprehension about its preservation
Following this Orissa government had last month asked a joint committee comprising representatives of ASI district administration of Puri and State culture department to verify the matter and submit a report
ASI which looks after protection of the temple has been maintaining that the monument was in a good state the sources said -- PTI

An aged woman sanitary worker who used to work in a street of the city used to ask for Rs 20 from each household
She was charging it for the cleaning of the street every day When asked whether she was being paid by the Berhampur Municipal Corporation (BMC) she had an eye opener as her answer
According to her she was not employed by the BMC She had to fish out Rs 1000 to get this job from the BMC appointed sanitary worker of the area
But she was happy with her job
She had no idea that she was being exploited by a person who had subleased his work to her while he was enjoying the pay
But for the woman the official sanitary worker who had unofficially appointed him was a saviour
ldquoHe may be drunkard but he has provided income source to three women like merdquo she said In a tone of obligation she added that the sanitary worker who had appointed her was also paying her Rs 500 every alternate month

The Collector is not hererdquo replied a telephone attendant at his residence And the District Magistratersquos mobile was switched off The Additional District Magistrate is sick so he has left the headquarters The Sub-Collector was also absent
When hundreds of hapless victims of floods tried to contact these top officials in Jagatsinghpur district they drew blank The district is in throes of heavy floods but the officials are enjoying Sunday in Bhubaneswar they alleged Vast areas of Ersama Balikuda and adjacent places are experiencing floods and there is no one to take care of the victims also allege peoplesrsquo representatives
Minister Agriculture and Cooperation Damodar Rout who hails from the district lost his cool He rang up the higher-ups in the bureaucracy and informed them the state of affairs in the district
The Ministerrsquos wakeup call sparked sensation in the higher echelons of the bureaucracy And all on a sudden top bosses became proactive Within a few hours the Collector reached district headquarters to oversee the relief operations for the victims
If this is the condition in a politically sensitive coastal district what happens to the far-flung areas of the State wondered a former Chief Secretary Most of the Collectors and senior officials having their families in Bhubaneswar retain their official quarters in the State capital city and enjoy lsquoFrench Leaversquo thanks to the callous attitude of higher bosses feel watchers of the bureaucracy
This is bound to happen when the top officials adopt the SMS mode for administration and oldies are preferred as Collectors they say

p Sun Temple under knee-deep water
Tuesday Jul 21 2009httpwwwhinducom20090721stories2009072153400300htm
Bhubaneswar The Sun Temple at Konark a World Heritage site 60 km from here was knee-deep in water on Monday following torrential rains triggered by low pressure threatening the structure and inconveniencing tourists
Visitors to the Sun Temple also known as Black Pagoda had to wade through two to three feet deep water which had accumulated around the historic site following heavy downpour
While a large number of tourists returned without having a proper look at the world famous monument since Sunday some of the visitors waded through the water to view the temple
ldquoIt was extremely difficult to reach the temple due to water-logging Though I managed to reach the structure my wife failed to do so as she found it toughrdquo said Chinmay a 40-year-old visitor after returning from Konark

Odisha Flood Alert- July 21 2009
For his wife Pratiti the visit turned out to be highly disheartening ldquoThe authorities should have taken steps to unclog the drains near the templerdquo she said
Locals pointed out that water-logging at the Sun Temple has been a regular feature for the last couple of years
ldquoWhenever it rains heavily for long the problem crops up as there is no proper outletrdquo said a resident of a nearby village
A social worker from the area Rabindra Kumar Bahinipati said water-logging could damage the temple Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has built a soak pit and when excess water accumulates it is pumped out
Bahinipati said prolonged water-logging which is an acute problem on the northern side of the 13th century monument is likely to have an adverse impact on the structure
ldquoThough plans are afoot to put in place a proper drainage system around the Sun Temple but no concrete measure has been takenrdquo he said
Senior ASI officials were not available to throw light on the problem and measures being taken to deal with it
The historical monument has been in news recently with reports of dislocation of some stones from the structure sparking apprehension about its preservation
Following this Orissa government had last month asked a joint committee comprising representatives of ASI district administration of Puri and State culture department to verify the matter and submit a report
ASI which looks after protection of the temple has been maintaining that the monument was in a good state the sources said -- PTI

Tuesday July 21 2009httpwwwhinducom20090721stories2009072152030300htmWhen flood comes it brings misery for thousands of people but family members of engineers posted in coastal districts distribute sweet among themselves expecting a good harvest The lsquojokersquo has been doing round ever since heavy rain started pounding the State Villagers say weak embankments will get breached in first floodwater When lives are at stake funds from State exchequer will flow without any obstructions Here comes the harvesting time for engineers and their political bosses they points out Embankments are temporarily repaired and kept ready to be breached during the next year flood According to them it gives local politicians opportunities to get closer to people and make their presence felt The other side of the story is that some people knowingly break embankment to make their uncultivated land submerged They also get good compensationEye opener
An aged woman sanitary worker who used to work in a street of the city used to ask for Rs 20 from each household
She was charging it for the cleaning of the street every day When asked whether she was being paid by the Berhampur Municipal Corporation (BMC) she had an eye opener as her answer
According to her she was not employed by the BMC She had to fish out Rs 1000 to get this job from the BMC appointed sanitary worker of the area
But she was happy with her job
She had no idea that she was being exploited by a person who had subleased his work to her while he was enjoying the pay
But for the woman the official sanitary worker who had unofficially appointed him was a saviour
ldquoHe may be drunkard but he has provided income source to three women like merdquo she said In a tone of obligation she added that the sanitary worker who had appointed her was also paying her Rs 500 every alternate month

The Collector is not hererdquo replied a telephone attendant at his residence And the District Magistratersquos mobile was switched off The Additional District Magistrate is sick so he has left the headquarters The Sub-Collector was also absent
When hundreds of hapless victims of floods tried to contact these top officials in Jagatsinghpur district they drew blank The district is in throes of heavy floods but the officials are enjoying Sunday in Bhubaneswar they alleged Vast areas of Ersama Balikuda and adjacent places are experiencing floods and there is no one to take care of the victims also allege peoplesrsquo representatives
Minister Agriculture and Cooperation Damodar Rout who hails from the district lost his cool He rang up the higher-ups in the bureaucracy and informed them the state of affairs in the district
The Ministerrsquos wakeup call sparked sensation in the higher echelons of the bureaucracy And all on a sudden top bosses became proactive Within a few hours the Collector reached district headquarters to oversee the relief operations for the victims
If this is the condition in a politically sensitive coastal district what happens to the far-flung areas of the State wondered a former Chief Secretary Most of the Collectors and senior officials having their families in Bhubaneswar retain their official quarters in the State capital city and enjoy lsquoFrench Leaversquo thanks to the callous attitude of higher bosses feel watchers of the bureaucracy
This is bound to happen when the top officials adopt the SMS mode for administration and oldies are preferred as Collectors they say

While a large number of tourists returned without having a proper look at the world famous monument since Sunday some of the visitors waded through the water to view the temple
ldquoIt was extremely difficult to reach the temple due to water-logging Though I managed to reach the structure my wife failed to do so as she found it toughrdquo said Chinmay a 40-year-old visitor after returning from Konark

Odisha Flood Alert- July 21 2009
For his wife Pratiti the visit turned out to be highly disheartening ldquoThe authorities should have taken steps to unclog the drains near the templerdquo she said
Locals pointed out that water-logging at the Sun Temple has been a regular feature for the last couple of years
ldquoWhenever it rains heavily for long the problem crops up as there is no proper outletrdquo said a resident of a nearby village
A social worker from the area Rabindra Kumar Bahinipati said water-logging could damage the temple Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has built a soak pit and when excess water accumulates it is pumped out
Bahinipati said prolonged water-logging which is an acute problem on the northern side of the 13th century monument is likely to have an adverse impact on the structure
ldquoThough plans are afoot to put in place a proper drainage system around the Sun Temple but no concrete measure has been takenrdquo he said
Senior ASI officials were not available to throw light on the problem and measures being taken to deal with it
The historical monument has been in news recently with reports of dislocation of some stones from the structure sparking apprehension about its preservation
Following this Orissa government had last month asked a joint committee comprising representatives of ASI district administration of Puri and State culture department to verify the matter and submit a report
ASI which looks after protection of the temple has been maintaining that the monument was in a good state the sources said -- PTI

Tuesday July 21 2009httpwwwhinducom20090721stories2009072152030300htmWhen flood comes it brings misery for thousands of people but family members of engineers posted in coastal districts distribute sweet among themselves expecting a good harvest The lsquojokersquo has been doing round ever since heavy rain started pounding the State Villagers say weak embankments will get breached in first floodwater When lives are at stake funds from State exchequer will flow without any obstructions Here comes the harvesting time for engineers and their political bosses they points out Embankments are temporarily repaired and kept ready to be breached during the next year flood According to them it gives local politicians opportunities to get closer to people and make their presence felt The other side of the story is that some people knowingly break embankment to make their uncultivated land submerged They also get good compensationEye opener
An aged woman sanitary worker who used to work in a street of the city used to ask for Rs 20 from each household
She was charging it for the cleaning of the street every day When asked whether she was being paid by the Berhampur Municipal Corporation (BMC) she had an eye opener as her answer
According to her she was not employed by the BMC She had to fish out Rs 1000 to get this job from the BMC appointed sanitary worker of the area
But she was happy with her job
She had no idea that she was being exploited by a person who had subleased his work to her while he was enjoying the pay
But for the woman the official sanitary worker who had unofficially appointed him was a saviour
ldquoHe may be drunkard but he has provided income source to three women like merdquo she said In a tone of obligation she added that the sanitary worker who had appointed her was also paying her Rs 500 every alternate month

According to Prof S N Pasupalak of Orissa University of Agriculture and Technology the fresh low pressure lying close to Paradeep has intensified further causing heavy rain across Orissa during the next 48 hours Gusty winds ranging from 45 kmph to 55 kmph are expected to blow along and off Orissa coast owing to the system Fishermen have also been warned not to venture into the sea
Major rivers in the state were in spate while some of them were flowing above their danger levels at many places Officials apprehend the flood situation may worsen

The Collector is not hererdquo replied a telephone attendant at his residence And the District Magistratersquos mobile was switched off The Additional District Magistrate is sick so he has left the headquarters The Sub-Collector was also absent
When hundreds of hapless victims of floods tried to contact these top officials in Jagatsinghpur district they drew blank The district is in throes of heavy floods but the officials are enjoying Sunday in Bhubaneswar they alleged Vast areas of Ersama Balikuda and adjacent places are experiencing floods and there is no one to take care of the victims also allege peoplesrsquo representatives
Minister Agriculture and Cooperation Damodar Rout who hails from the district lost his cool He rang up the higher-ups in the bureaucracy and informed them the state of affairs in the district
The Ministerrsquos wakeup call sparked sensation in the higher echelons of the bureaucracy And all on a sudden top bosses became proactive Within a few hours the Collector reached district headquarters to oversee the relief operations for the victims
If this is the condition in a politically sensitive coastal district what happens to the far-flung areas of the State wondered a former Chief Secretary Most of the Collectors and senior officials having their families in Bhubaneswar retain their official quarters in the State capital city and enjoy lsquoFrench Leaversquo thanks to the callous attitude of higher bosses feel watchers of the bureaucracy
This is bound to happen when the top officials adopt the SMS mode for administration and oldies are preferred as Collectors they say

For his wife Pratiti the visit turned out to be highly disheartening ldquoThe authorities should have taken steps to unclog the drains near the templerdquo she said
Locals pointed out that water-logging at the Sun Temple has been a regular feature for the last couple of years
ldquoWhenever it rains heavily for long the problem crops up as there is no proper outletrdquo said a resident of a nearby village
A social worker from the area Rabindra Kumar Bahinipati said water-logging could damage the temple Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has built a soak pit and when excess water accumulates it is pumped out
Bahinipati said prolonged water-logging which is an acute problem on the northern side of the 13th century monument is likely to have an adverse impact on the structure
ldquoThough plans are afoot to put in place a proper drainage system around the Sun Temple but no concrete measure has been takenrdquo he said
Senior ASI officials were not available to throw light on the problem and measures being taken to deal with it
The historical monument has been in news recently with reports of dislocation of some stones from the structure sparking apprehension about its preservation
Following this Orissa government had last month asked a joint committee comprising representatives of ASI district administration of Puri and State culture department to verify the matter and submit a report
ASI which looks after protection of the temple has been maintaining that the monument was in a good state the sources said -- PTI

An aged woman sanitary worker who used to work in a street of the city used to ask for Rs 20 from each household
She was charging it for the cleaning of the street every day When asked whether she was being paid by the Berhampur Municipal Corporation (BMC) she had an eye opener as her answer
According to her she was not employed by the BMC She had to fish out Rs 1000 to get this job from the BMC appointed sanitary worker of the area
But she was happy with her job
She had no idea that she was being exploited by a person who had subleased his work to her while he was enjoying the pay
But for the woman the official sanitary worker who had unofficially appointed him was a saviour
ldquoHe may be drunkard but he has provided income source to three women like merdquo she said In a tone of obligation she added that the sanitary worker who had appointed her was also paying her Rs 500 every alternate month

Odisha Flood Alert- July 21 2009
21 Jul 2009 ET BureauhttpeconomictimesindiatimescomNewsPoliticsNationOrissa-flood-situation-grim-toll-rises-to-36articleshow4800142cmsTorrential rain triggered by a low pressure over the Bay of Bengal has caused second flood in the state in less than a fortnight taking the toll to 36 and marooning hundreds of villages officials said here on Monday
The flood and rain-related incidents have so far killed 36 people At least half a million people in eight of the 30 districts in the state have been affected by the deluge Orissa revenue and disaster management minister Surjya Narayan Patra said here
While 29 people have been swept away in the strong currents of the flood water seven others died due to collapse of their mud houses
Hundreds of villages in flood-hit districts of Ganjam Kandhamal Kalahandi and Koraput have been inundated and most of them remained cut off from the rest of the state People were seen taking shelter on the roof tops and trees reports reaching the state revenue control room here said
Several roads have been breached in Nayagarh Bolangir Kalahandi Koraput Rayagada and Gajapati districts The stretch of national highway 201 between Bolangir and Sambalpur has been breached while two to three feet water was flowing over several roads in Bolangir town Bolangir incidentally recorded the highest of 190 mm rainfall during the day followed by Titlagarh (129 mm) and Bhawanipatna (107 mm)The state government has pressed Orissa Disaster Rapid Action Force (ODRAF) into service to evacuate the marooned people to safer places Nearly 10000 people have been rescued so far Mr Patra said
The low pressure-induced rains also breached embankments at several places disrupting road communications in many parts of western and southern Orissa The floods also destroyed standing crops in nearly 10000 hectares in these areas officials added
According to Prof S N Pasupalak of Orissa University of Agriculture and Technology the fresh low pressure lying close to Paradeep has intensified further causing heavy rain across Orissa during the next 48 hours Gusty winds ranging from 45 kmph to 55 kmph are expected to blow along and off Orissa coast owing to the system Fishermen have also been warned not to venture into the sea
Major rivers in the state were in spate while some of them were flowing above their danger levels at many places Officials apprehend the flood situation may worsen
Even the famous Sun Temple in Konark remained knee deep in water and tourists were seen wading through three feet water to visit the 13th century Black Pagoda Experts feared the prolonged water-logging might threaten the gigantic structure of the shrine

d Top admn brass absent when floods wreak havoc
Tuesday July 21 2009 httpwwwdailypioneercom190469Top-admn-brass-absent-when-floods-wreak-havochtml
The Collector is not hererdquo replied a telephone attendant at his residence And the District Magistratersquos mobile was switched off The Additional District Magistrate is sick so he has left the headquarters The Sub-Collector was also absent
When hundreds of hapless victims of floods tried to contact these top officials in Jagatsinghpur district they drew blank The district is in throes of heavy floods but the officials are enjoying Sunday in Bhubaneswar they alleged Vast areas of Ersama Balikuda and adjacent places are experiencing floods and there is no one to take care of the victims also allege peoplesrsquo representatives
Minister Agriculture and Cooperation Damodar Rout who hails from the district lost his cool He rang up the higher-ups in the bureaucracy and informed them the state of affairs in the district
The Ministerrsquos wakeup call sparked sensation in the higher echelons of the bureaucracy And all on a sudden top bosses became proactive Within a few hours the Collector reached district headquarters to oversee the relief operations for the victims
If this is the condition in a politically sensitive coastal district what happens to the far-flung areas of the State wondered a former Chief Secretary Most of the Collectors and senior officials having their families in Bhubaneswar retain their official quarters in the State capital city and enjoy lsquoFrench Leaversquo thanks to the callous attitude of higher bosses feel watchers of the bureaucracy
This is bound to happen when the top officials adopt the SMS mode for administration and oldies are preferred as Collectors they say

Bhubaneswar The Sun Temple at Konark a World Heritage site 60 km from here was knee-deep in water on Monday following torrential rains triggered by low pressure threatening the structure and inconveniencing tourists
Visitors to the Sun Temple also known as Black Pagoda had to wade through two to three feet deep water which had accumulated around the historic site following heavy downpour
While a large number of tourists returned without having a proper look at the world famous monument since Sunday some of the visitors waded through the water to view the temple
ldquoIt was extremely difficult to reach the temple due to water-logging Though I managed to reach the structure my wife failed to do so as she found it toughrdquo said Chinmay a 40-year-old visitor after returning from Konark

Odisha Flood Alert- July 21 2009
For his wife Pratiti the visit turned out to be highly disheartening ldquoThe authorities should have taken steps to unclog the drains near the templerdquo she said
Locals pointed out that water-logging at the Sun Temple has been a regular feature for the last couple of years
ldquoWhenever it rains heavily for long the problem crops up as there is no proper outletrdquo said a resident of a nearby village
A social worker from the area Rabindra Kumar Bahinipati said water-logging could damage the temple Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has built a soak pit and when excess water accumulates it is pumped out
Bahinipati said prolonged water-logging which is an acute problem on the northern side of the 13th century monument is likely to have an adverse impact on the structure
ldquoThough plans are afoot to put in place a proper drainage system around the Sun Temple but no concrete measure has been takenrdquo he said
Senior ASI officials were not available to throw light on the problem and measures being taken to deal with it
The historical monument has been in news recently with reports of dislocation of some stones from the structure sparking apprehension about its preservation
Following this Orissa government had last month asked a joint committee comprising representatives of ASI district administration of Puri and State culture department to verify the matter and submit a report
ASI which looks after protection of the temple has been maintaining that the monument was in a good state the sources said -- PTI

An aged woman sanitary worker who used to work in a street of the city used to ask for Rs 20 from each household
She was charging it for the cleaning of the street every day When asked whether she was being paid by the Berhampur Municipal Corporation (BMC) she had an eye opener as her answer
According to her she was not employed by the BMC She had to fish out Rs 1000 to get this job from the BMC appointed sanitary worker of the area
But she was happy with her job
She had no idea that she was being exploited by a person who had subleased his work to her while he was enjoying the pay
But for the woman the official sanitary worker who had unofficially appointed him was a saviour
ldquoHe may be drunkard but he has provided income source to three women like merdquo she said In a tone of obligation she added that the sanitary worker who had appointed her was also paying her Rs 500 every alternate month

Bahinipati said prolonged water-logging which is an acute problem on the northern side of the 13th century monument is likely to have an adverse impact on the structure
ldquoThough plans are afoot to put in place a proper drainage system around the Sun Temple but no concrete measure has been takenrdquo he said
Senior ASI officials were not available to throw light on the problem and measures being taken to deal with it
The historical monument has been in news recently with reports of dislocation of some stones from the structure sparking apprehension about its preservation
Following this Orissa government had last month asked a joint committee comprising representatives of ASI district administration of Puri and State culture department to verify the matter and submit a report
ASI which looks after protection of the temple has been maintaining that the monument was in a good state the sources said -- PTI

Tuesday July 21 2009httpwwwhinducom20090721stories2009072152030300htmWhen flood comes it brings misery for thousands of people but family members of engineers posted in coastal districts distribute sweet among themselves expecting a good harvest The lsquojokersquo has been doing round ever since heavy rain started pounding the State Villagers say weak embankments will get breached in first floodwater When lives are at stake funds from State exchequer will flow without any obstructions Here comes the harvesting time for engineers and their political bosses they points out Embankments are temporarily repaired and kept ready to be breached during the next year flood According to them it gives local politicians opportunities to get closer to people and make their presence felt The other side of the story is that some people knowingly break embankment to make their uncultivated land submerged They also get good compensationEye opener
An aged woman sanitary worker who used to work in a street of the city used to ask for Rs 20 from each household
She was charging it for the cleaning of the street every day When asked whether she was being paid by the Berhampur Municipal Corporation (BMC) she had an eye opener as her answer
According to her she was not employed by the BMC She had to fish out Rs 1000 to get this job from the BMC appointed sanitary worker of the area
But she was happy with her job
She had no idea that she was being exploited by a person who had subleased his work to her while he was enjoying the pay
But for the woman the official sanitary worker who had unofficially appointed him was a saviour
ldquoHe may be drunkard but he has provided income source to three women like merdquo she said In a tone of obligation she added that the sanitary worker who had appointed her was also paying her Rs 500 every alternate month

s Rain forces closure of schools in Orissas BalasoreTNN 20 July 2009httptimesofindiaindiatimescomNEWSCityBhubaneswarRain-forces-closure-of-schools-in-Orissas-Balasorearticleshow4800055cmsThe Orissa government on Monday ordered closure of schools for two days in Balasore district and rushed rescue teams as the deep depression in the Bay of Bengal headed to the mainland It is likely to cross between Digha in West Bengal and Balasore district in the night weather office here predicted
The government took the steps following weather warning that the depression is likely to cause torrential rain as high as 25 cm at places in the region including Mayurbhanj district in the next 48 hours with wind speed rising up to the level of 65 kmph Tuesday being the new moon day water discharge to the sea would be slow The wind speed may touch 100 kmph We have taken all precautionary measures revenue minister S N Patro said Officials apprehend that Subarnarekha Budhabalanga and Jalaka rivers in the region could be flooded because of heavy rain predicted in Jharkhand and Chhatisgarh in the next few days The government sanctioned Rs one crore to Balasore and Mayurbhanj districts to meet emergency expenditures While the Orissa Disaster Rapid Action Force (ODRAF) was stationed at Balasore the national disaster response team was sent from its base in Munduli near Cuttack to the area Ten power boats were also sent by road to meet any eventuality Rain-related deaths have since mounted to 37 officially in the state The first phase flood in June last year in Balasore district had caused widespread damage in Basta Baliapal Bhogarai and Jaleswar blocks in particular resulting in death of at least 30 persons
Though major flood is ruled out in the Mahanadi river system for the moment panic nevertheless gripped Cuttack city after the municipal authorities closed all the citys outflow gates to the rivers in view of water level rising in Mahanadi and Kathajodi We have engaged about 150 water pumps to flush out water to the river But opening sluice gates would mean allowing river water to enter the city CMC executive engineer A K Parida said

21 Jul 2009 ET BureauhttpeconomictimesindiatimescomNewsPoliticsNationOrissa-flood-situation-grim-toll-rises-to-36articleshow4800142cmsTorrential rain triggered by a low pressure over the Bay of Bengal has caused second flood in the state in less than a fortnight taking the toll to 36 and marooning hundreds of villages officials said here on Monday
The flood and rain-related incidents have so far killed 36 people At least half a million people in eight of the 30 districts in the state have been affected by the deluge Orissa revenue and disaster management minister Surjya Narayan Patra said here
While 29 people have been swept away in the strong currents of the flood water seven others died due to collapse of their mud houses
Hundreds of villages in flood-hit districts of Ganjam Kandhamal Kalahandi and Koraput have been inundated and most of them remained cut off from the rest of the state People were seen taking shelter on the roof tops and trees reports reaching the state revenue control room here said
Several roads have been breached in Nayagarh Bolangir Kalahandi Koraput Rayagada and Gajapati districts The stretch of national highway 201 between Bolangir and Sambalpur has been breached while two to three feet water was flowing over several roads in Bolangir town Bolangir incidentally recorded the highest of 190 mm rainfall during the day followed by Titlagarh (129 mm) and Bhawanipatna (107 mm)The state government has pressed Orissa Disaster Rapid Action Force (ODRAF) into service to evacuate the marooned people to safer places Nearly 10000 people have been rescued so far Mr Patra said
The low pressure-induced rains also breached embankments at several places disrupting road communications in many parts of western and southern Orissa The floods also destroyed standing crops in nearly 10000 hectares in these areas officials added
According to Prof S N Pasupalak of Orissa University of Agriculture and Technology the fresh low pressure lying close to Paradeep has intensified further causing heavy rain across Orissa during the next 48 hours Gusty winds ranging from 45 kmph to 55 kmph are expected to blow along and off Orissa coast owing to the system Fishermen have also been warned not to venture into the sea
Major rivers in the state were in spate while some of them were flowing above their danger levels at many places Officials apprehend the flood situation may worsen
Even the famous Sun Temple in Konark remained knee deep in water and tourists were seen wading through three feet water to visit the 13th century Black Pagoda Experts feared the prolonged water-logging might threaten the gigantic structure of the shrine

Bhubaneswar The Sun Temple at Konark a World Heritage site 60 km from here was knee-deep in water on Monday following torrential rains triggered by low pressure threatening the structure and inconveniencing tourists
Visitors to the Sun Temple also known as Black Pagoda had to wade through two to three feet deep water which had accumulated around the historic site following heavy downpour
While a large number of tourists returned without having a proper look at the world famous monument since Sunday some of the visitors waded through the water to view the temple
ldquoIt was extremely difficult to reach the temple due to water-logging Though I managed to reach the structure my wife failed to do so as she found it toughrdquo said Chinmay a 40-year-old visitor after returning from Konark

Odisha Flood Alert- July 21 2009
For his wife Pratiti the visit turned out to be highly disheartening ldquoThe authorities should have taken steps to unclog the drains near the templerdquo she said
Locals pointed out that water-logging at the Sun Temple has been a regular feature for the last couple of years
ldquoWhenever it rains heavily for long the problem crops up as there is no proper outletrdquo said a resident of a nearby village
A social worker from the area Rabindra Kumar Bahinipati said water-logging could damage the temple Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has built a soak pit and when excess water accumulates it is pumped out
Bahinipati said prolonged water-logging which is an acute problem on the northern side of the 13th century monument is likely to have an adverse impact on the structure
ldquoThough plans are afoot to put in place a proper drainage system around the Sun Temple but no concrete measure has been takenrdquo he said
Senior ASI officials were not available to throw light on the problem and measures being taken to deal with it
The historical monument has been in news recently with reports of dislocation of some stones from the structure sparking apprehension about its preservation
Following this Orissa government had last month asked a joint committee comprising representatives of ASI district administration of Puri and State culture department to verify the matter and submit a report
ASI which looks after protection of the temple has been maintaining that the monument was in a good state the sources said -- PTI

An aged woman sanitary worker who used to work in a street of the city used to ask for Rs 20 from each household
She was charging it for the cleaning of the street every day When asked whether she was being paid by the Berhampur Municipal Corporation (BMC) she had an eye opener as her answer
According to her she was not employed by the BMC She had to fish out Rs 1000 to get this job from the BMC appointed sanitary worker of the area
But she was happy with her job
She had no idea that she was being exploited by a person who had subleased his work to her while he was enjoying the pay
But for the woman the official sanitary worker who had unofficially appointed him was a saviour
ldquoHe may be drunkard but he has provided income source to three women like merdquo she said In a tone of obligation she added that the sanitary worker who had appointed her was also paying her Rs 500 every alternate month

p Sun Temple under knee-deep water
Tuesday Jul 21 2009httpwwwhinducom20090721stories2009072153400300htm
Bhubaneswar The Sun Temple at Konark a World Heritage site 60 km from here was knee-deep in water on Monday following torrential rains triggered by low pressure threatening the structure and inconveniencing tourists
Visitors to the Sun Temple also known as Black Pagoda had to wade through two to three feet deep water which had accumulated around the historic site following heavy downpour
While a large number of tourists returned without having a proper look at the world famous monument since Sunday some of the visitors waded through the water to view the temple
ldquoIt was extremely difficult to reach the temple due to water-logging Though I managed to reach the structure my wife failed to do so as she found it toughrdquo said Chinmay a 40-year-old visitor after returning from Konark

Odisha Flood Alert- July 21 2009
For his wife Pratiti the visit turned out to be highly disheartening ldquoThe authorities should have taken steps to unclog the drains near the templerdquo she said
Locals pointed out that water-logging at the Sun Temple has been a regular feature for the last couple of years
ldquoWhenever it rains heavily for long the problem crops up as there is no proper outletrdquo said a resident of a nearby village
A social worker from the area Rabindra Kumar Bahinipati said water-logging could damage the temple Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has built a soak pit and when excess water accumulates it is pumped out
Bahinipati said prolonged water-logging which is an acute problem on the northern side of the 13th century monument is likely to have an adverse impact on the structure
ldquoThough plans are afoot to put in place a proper drainage system around the Sun Temple but no concrete measure has been takenrdquo he said
Senior ASI officials were not available to throw light on the problem and measures being taken to deal with it
The historical monument has been in news recently with reports of dislocation of some stones from the structure sparking apprehension about its preservation
Following this Orissa government had last month asked a joint committee comprising representatives of ASI district administration of Puri and State culture department to verify the matter and submit a report
ASI which looks after protection of the temple has been maintaining that the monument was in a good state the sources said -- PTI

Tuesday July 21 2009httpwwwhinducom20090721stories2009072152030300htmWhen flood comes it brings misery for thousands of people but family members of engineers posted in coastal districts distribute sweet among themselves expecting a good harvest The lsquojokersquo has been doing round ever since heavy rain started pounding the State Villagers say weak embankments will get breached in first floodwater When lives are at stake funds from State exchequer will flow without any obstructions Here comes the harvesting time for engineers and their political bosses they points out Embankments are temporarily repaired and kept ready to be breached during the next year flood According to them it gives local politicians opportunities to get closer to people and make their presence felt The other side of the story is that some people knowingly break embankment to make their uncultivated land submerged They also get good compensationEye opener
An aged woman sanitary worker who used to work in a street of the city used to ask for Rs 20 from each household
She was charging it for the cleaning of the street every day When asked whether she was being paid by the Berhampur Municipal Corporation (BMC) she had an eye opener as her answer
According to her she was not employed by the BMC She had to fish out Rs 1000 to get this job from the BMC appointed sanitary worker of the area
But she was happy with her job
She had no idea that she was being exploited by a person who had subleased his work to her while he was enjoying the pay
But for the woman the official sanitary worker who had unofficially appointed him was a saviour
ldquoHe may be drunkard but he has provided income source to three women like merdquo she said In a tone of obligation she added that the sanitary worker who had appointed her was also paying her Rs 500 every alternate month

The government took the steps following weather warning that the depression is likely to cause torrential rain as high as 25 cm at places in the region including Mayurbhanj district in the next 48 hours with wind speed rising up to the level of 65 kmph Tuesday being the new moon day water discharge to the sea would be slow The wind speed may touch 100 kmph We have taken all precautionary measures revenue minister S N Patro said Officials apprehend that Subarnarekha Budhabalanga and Jalaka rivers in the region could be flooded because of heavy rain predicted in Jharkhand and Chhatisgarh in the next few days The government sanctioned Rs one crore to Balasore and Mayurbhanj districts to meet emergency expenditures While the Orissa Disaster Rapid Action Force (ODRAF) was stationed at Balasore the national disaster response team was sent from its base in Munduli near Cuttack to the area Ten power boats were also sent by road to meet any eventuality Rain-related deaths have since mounted to 37 officially in the state The first phase flood in June last year in Balasore district had caused widespread damage in Basta Baliapal Bhogarai and Jaleswar blocks in particular resulting in death of at least 30 persons
Though major flood is ruled out in the Mahanadi river system for the moment panic nevertheless gripped Cuttack city after the municipal authorities closed all the citys outflow gates to the rivers in view of water level rising in Mahanadi and Kathajodi We have engaged about 150 water pumps to flush out water to the river But opening sluice gates would mean allowing river water to enter the city CMC executive engineer A K Parida said

Odisha Flood Alert- July 21 2009
21 Jul 2009 ET BureauhttpeconomictimesindiatimescomNewsPoliticsNationOrissa-flood-situation-grim-toll-rises-to-36articleshow4800142cmsTorrential rain triggered by a low pressure over the Bay of Bengal has caused second flood in the state in less than a fortnight taking the toll to 36 and marooning hundreds of villages officials said here on Monday
The flood and rain-related incidents have so far killed 36 people At least half a million people in eight of the 30 districts in the state have been affected by the deluge Orissa revenue and disaster management minister Surjya Narayan Patra said here
While 29 people have been swept away in the strong currents of the flood water seven others died due to collapse of their mud houses
Hundreds of villages in flood-hit districts of Ganjam Kandhamal Kalahandi and Koraput have been inundated and most of them remained cut off from the rest of the state People were seen taking shelter on the roof tops and trees reports reaching the state revenue control room here said
Several roads have been breached in Nayagarh Bolangir Kalahandi Koraput Rayagada and Gajapati districts The stretch of national highway 201 between Bolangir and Sambalpur has been breached while two to three feet water was flowing over several roads in Bolangir town Bolangir incidentally recorded the highest of 190 mm rainfall during the day followed by Titlagarh (129 mm) and Bhawanipatna (107 mm)The state government has pressed Orissa Disaster Rapid Action Force (ODRAF) into service to evacuate the marooned people to safer places Nearly 10000 people have been rescued so far Mr Patra said
The low pressure-induced rains also breached embankments at several places disrupting road communications in many parts of western and southern Orissa The floods also destroyed standing crops in nearly 10000 hectares in these areas officials added
According to Prof S N Pasupalak of Orissa University of Agriculture and Technology the fresh low pressure lying close to Paradeep has intensified further causing heavy rain across Orissa during the next 48 hours Gusty winds ranging from 45 kmph to 55 kmph are expected to blow along and off Orissa coast owing to the system Fishermen have also been warned not to venture into the sea
Major rivers in the state were in spate while some of them were flowing above their danger levels at many places Officials apprehend the flood situation may worsen
Even the famous Sun Temple in Konark remained knee deep in water and tourists were seen wading through three feet water to visit the 13th century Black Pagoda Experts feared the prolonged water-logging might threaten the gigantic structure of the shrine

p Sun Temple under knee-deep water
Tuesday Jul 21 2009httpwwwhinducom20090721stories2009072153400300htm
Bhubaneswar The Sun Temple at Konark a World Heritage site 60 km from here was knee-deep in water on Monday following torrential rains triggered by low pressure threatening the structure and inconveniencing tourists
Visitors to the Sun Temple also known as Black Pagoda had to wade through two to three feet deep water which had accumulated around the historic site following heavy downpour
While a large number of tourists returned without having a proper look at the world famous monument since Sunday some of the visitors waded through the water to view the temple
ldquoIt was extremely difficult to reach the temple due to water-logging Though I managed to reach the structure my wife failed to do so as she found it toughrdquo said Chinmay a 40-year-old visitor after returning from Konark

Odisha Flood Alert- July 21 2009
For his wife Pratiti the visit turned out to be highly disheartening ldquoThe authorities should have taken steps to unclog the drains near the templerdquo she said
Locals pointed out that water-logging at the Sun Temple has been a regular feature for the last couple of years
ldquoWhenever it rains heavily for long the problem crops up as there is no proper outletrdquo said a resident of a nearby village
A social worker from the area Rabindra Kumar Bahinipati said water-logging could damage the temple Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has built a soak pit and when excess water accumulates it is pumped out
Bahinipati said prolonged water-logging which is an acute problem on the northern side of the 13th century monument is likely to have an adverse impact on the structure
ldquoThough plans are afoot to put in place a proper drainage system around the Sun Temple but no concrete measure has been takenrdquo he said
Senior ASI officials were not available to throw light on the problem and measures being taken to deal with it
The historical monument has been in news recently with reports of dislocation of some stones from the structure sparking apprehension about its preservation
Following this Orissa government had last month asked a joint committee comprising representatives of ASI district administration of Puri and State culture department to verify the matter and submit a report
ASI which looks after protection of the temple has been maintaining that the monument was in a good state the sources said -- PTI

r lsquoHarvestingrsquo time
Tuesday July 21 2009httpwwwhinducom20090721stories2009072152030300htmWhen flood comes it brings misery for thousands of people but family members of engineers posted in coastal districts distribute sweet among themselves expecting a good harvest The lsquojokersquo has been doing round ever since heavy rain started pounding the State Villagers say weak embankments will get breached in first floodwater When lives are at stake funds from State exchequer will flow without any obstructions Here comes the harvesting time for engineers and their political bosses they points out Embankments are temporarily repaired and kept ready to be breached during the next year flood According to them it gives local politicians opportunities to get closer to people and make their presence felt The other side of the story is that some people knowingly break embankment to make their uncultivated land submerged They also get good compensationEye opener
An aged woman sanitary worker who used to work in a street of the city used to ask for Rs 20 from each household
She was charging it for the cleaning of the street every day When asked whether she was being paid by the Berhampur Municipal Corporation (BMC) she had an eye opener as her answer
According to her she was not employed by the BMC She had to fish out Rs 1000 to get this job from the BMC appointed sanitary worker of the area
But she was happy with her job
She had no idea that she was being exploited by a person who had subleased his work to her while he was enjoying the pay
But for the woman the official sanitary worker who had unofficially appointed him was a saviour
ldquoHe may be drunkard but he has provided income source to three women like merdquo she said In a tone of obligation she added that the sanitary worker who had appointed her was also paying her Rs 500 every alternate month

According to Prof S N Pasupalak of Orissa University of Agriculture and Technology the fresh low pressure lying close to Paradeep has intensified further causing heavy rain across Orissa during the next 48 hours Gusty winds ranging from 45 kmph to 55 kmph are expected to blow along and off Orissa coast owing to the system Fishermen have also been warned not to venture into the sea
Major rivers in the state were in spate while some of them were flowing above their danger levels at many places Officials apprehend the flood situation may worsen

p Sun Temple under knee-deep water
Tuesday Jul 21 2009httpwwwhinducom20090721stories2009072153400300htm
Bhubaneswar The Sun Temple at Konark a World Heritage site 60 km from here was knee-deep in water on Monday following torrential rains triggered by low pressure threatening the structure and inconveniencing tourists
Visitors to the Sun Temple also known as Black Pagoda had to wade through two to three feet deep water which had accumulated around the historic site following heavy downpour
While a large number of tourists returned without having a proper look at the world famous monument since Sunday some of the visitors waded through the water to view the temple
ldquoIt was extremely difficult to reach the temple due to water-logging Though I managed to reach the structure my wife failed to do so as she found it toughrdquo said Chinmay a 40-year-old visitor after returning from Konark

Odisha Flood Alert- July 21 2009
For his wife Pratiti the visit turned out to be highly disheartening ldquoThe authorities should have taken steps to unclog the drains near the templerdquo she said
Locals pointed out that water-logging at the Sun Temple has been a regular feature for the last couple of years
ldquoWhenever it rains heavily for long the problem crops up as there is no proper outletrdquo said a resident of a nearby village
A social worker from the area Rabindra Kumar Bahinipati said water-logging could damage the temple Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has built a soak pit and when excess water accumulates it is pumped out
Bahinipati said prolonged water-logging which is an acute problem on the northern side of the 13th century monument is likely to have an adverse impact on the structure
ldquoThough plans are afoot to put in place a proper drainage system around the Sun Temple but no concrete measure has been takenrdquo he said
Senior ASI officials were not available to throw light on the problem and measures being taken to deal with it
The historical monument has been in news recently with reports of dislocation of some stones from the structure sparking apprehension about its preservation
Following this Orissa government had last month asked a joint committee comprising representatives of ASI district administration of Puri and State culture department to verify the matter and submit a report
ASI which looks after protection of the temple has been maintaining that the monument was in a good state the sources said -- PTI

Tuesday July 21 2009httpwwwhinducom20090721stories2009072152030300htmWhen flood comes it brings misery for thousands of people but family members of engineers posted in coastal districts distribute sweet among themselves expecting a good harvest The lsquojokersquo has been doing round ever since heavy rain started pounding the State Villagers say weak embankments will get breached in first floodwater When lives are at stake funds from State exchequer will flow without any obstructions Here comes the harvesting time for engineers and their political bosses they points out Embankments are temporarily repaired and kept ready to be breached during the next year flood According to them it gives local politicians opportunities to get closer to people and make their presence felt The other side of the story is that some people knowingly break embankment to make their uncultivated land submerged They also get good compensationEye opener
An aged woman sanitary worker who used to work in a street of the city used to ask for Rs 20 from each household
She was charging it for the cleaning of the street every day When asked whether she was being paid by the Berhampur Municipal Corporation (BMC) she had an eye opener as her answer
According to her she was not employed by the BMC She had to fish out Rs 1000 to get this job from the BMC appointed sanitary worker of the area
But she was happy with her job
She had no idea that she was being exploited by a person who had subleased his work to her while he was enjoying the pay
But for the woman the official sanitary worker who had unofficially appointed him was a saviour
ldquoHe may be drunkard but he has provided income source to three women like merdquo she said In a tone of obligation she added that the sanitary worker who had appointed her was also paying her Rs 500 every alternate month

Odisha Flood Alert- July 21 2009
For his wife Pratiti the visit turned out to be highly disheartening ldquoThe authorities should have taken steps to unclog the drains near the templerdquo she said
Locals pointed out that water-logging at the Sun Temple has been a regular feature for the last couple of years
ldquoWhenever it rains heavily for long the problem crops up as there is no proper outletrdquo said a resident of a nearby village
A social worker from the area Rabindra Kumar Bahinipati said water-logging could damage the temple Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has built a soak pit and when excess water accumulates it is pumped out
Bahinipati said prolonged water-logging which is an acute problem on the northern side of the 13th century monument is likely to have an adverse impact on the structure
ldquoThough plans are afoot to put in place a proper drainage system around the Sun Temple but no concrete measure has been takenrdquo he said
Senior ASI officials were not available to throw light on the problem and measures being taken to deal with it
The historical monument has been in news recently with reports of dislocation of some stones from the structure sparking apprehension about its preservation
Following this Orissa government had last month asked a joint committee comprising representatives of ASI district administration of Puri and State culture department to verify the matter and submit a report
ASI which looks after protection of the temple has been maintaining that the monument was in a good state the sources said -- PTI

Tuesday July 21 2009httpwwwhinducom20090721stories2009072152030300htmWhen flood comes it brings misery for thousands of people but family members of engineers posted in coastal districts distribute sweet among themselves expecting a good harvest The lsquojokersquo has been doing round ever since heavy rain started pounding the State Villagers say weak embankments will get breached in first floodwater When lives are at stake funds from State exchequer will flow without any obstructions Here comes the harvesting time for engineers and their political bosses they points out Embankments are temporarily repaired and kept ready to be breached during the next year flood According to them it gives local politicians opportunities to get closer to people and make their presence felt The other side of the story is that some people knowingly break embankment to make their uncultivated land submerged They also get good compensationEye opener
An aged woman sanitary worker who used to work in a street of the city used to ask for Rs 20 from each household
She was charging it for the cleaning of the street every day When asked whether she was being paid by the Berhampur Municipal Corporation (BMC) she had an eye opener as her answer
According to her she was not employed by the BMC She had to fish out Rs 1000 to get this job from the BMC appointed sanitary worker of the area
But she was happy with her job
She had no idea that she was being exploited by a person who had subleased his work to her while he was enjoying the pay
But for the woman the official sanitary worker who had unofficially appointed him was a saviour
ldquoHe may be drunkard but he has provided income source to three women like merdquo she said In a tone of obligation she added that the sanitary worker who had appointed her was also paying her Rs 500 every alternate month

The government took the steps following weather warning that the depression is likely to cause torrential rain as high as 25 cm at places in the region including Mayurbhanj district in the next 48 hours with wind speed rising up to the level of 65 kmph Tuesday being the new moon day water discharge to the sea would be slow The wind speed may touch 100 kmph We have taken all precautionary measures revenue minister S N Patro said Officials apprehend that Subarnarekha Budhabalanga and Jalaka rivers in the region could be flooded because of heavy rain predicted in Jharkhand and Chhatisgarh in the next few days The government sanctioned Rs one crore to Balasore and Mayurbhanj districts to meet emergency expenditures While the Orissa Disaster Rapid Action Force (ODRAF) was stationed at Balasore the national disaster response team was sent from its base in Munduli near Cuttack to the area Ten power boats were also sent by road to meet any eventuality Rain-related deaths have since mounted to 37 officially in the state The first phase flood in June last year in Balasore district had caused widespread damage in Basta Baliapal Bhogarai and Jaleswar blocks in particular resulting in death of at least 30 persons
Though major flood is ruled out in the Mahanadi river system for the moment panic nevertheless gripped Cuttack city after the municipal authorities closed all the citys outflow gates to the rivers in view of water level rising in Mahanadi and Kathajodi We have engaged about 150 water pumps to flush out water to the river But opening sluice gates would mean allowing river water to enter the city CMC executive engineer A K Parida said

Odisha Flood Alert- July 21 2009
21 Jul 2009 ET BureauhttpeconomictimesindiatimescomNewsPoliticsNationOrissa-flood-situation-grim-toll-rises-to-36articleshow4800142cmsTorrential rain triggered by a low pressure over the Bay of Bengal has caused second flood in the state in less than a fortnight taking the toll to 36 and marooning hundreds of villages officials said here on Monday
The flood and rain-related incidents have so far killed 36 people At least half a million people in eight of the 30 districts in the state have been affected by the deluge Orissa revenue and disaster management minister Surjya Narayan Patra said here
While 29 people have been swept away in the strong currents of the flood water seven others died due to collapse of their mud houses
Hundreds of villages in flood-hit districts of Ganjam Kandhamal Kalahandi and Koraput have been inundated and most of them remained cut off from the rest of the state People were seen taking shelter on the roof tops and trees reports reaching the state revenue control room here said
Several roads have been breached in Nayagarh Bolangir Kalahandi Koraput Rayagada and Gajapati districts The stretch of national highway 201 between Bolangir and Sambalpur has been breached while two to three feet water was flowing over several roads in Bolangir town Bolangir incidentally recorded the highest of 190 mm rainfall during the day followed by Titlagarh (129 mm) and Bhawanipatna (107 mm)The state government has pressed Orissa Disaster Rapid Action Force (ODRAF) into service to evacuate the marooned people to safer places Nearly 10000 people have been rescued so far Mr Patra said
The low pressure-induced rains also breached embankments at several places disrupting road communications in many parts of western and southern Orissa The floods also destroyed standing crops in nearly 10000 hectares in these areas officials added
According to Prof S N Pasupalak of Orissa University of Agriculture and Technology the fresh low pressure lying close to Paradeep has intensified further causing heavy rain across Orissa during the next 48 hours Gusty winds ranging from 45 kmph to 55 kmph are expected to blow along and off Orissa coast owing to the system Fishermen have also been warned not to venture into the sea
Major rivers in the state were in spate while some of them were flowing above their danger levels at many places Officials apprehend the flood situation may worsen
Even the famous Sun Temple in Konark remained knee deep in water and tourists were seen wading through three feet water to visit the 13th century Black Pagoda Experts feared the prolonged water-logging might threaten the gigantic structure of the shrine

Tuesday July 21 2009httpwwwhinducom20090721stories2009072152030300htmWhen flood comes it brings misery for thousands of people but family members of engineers posted in coastal districts distribute sweet among themselves expecting a good harvest The lsquojokersquo has been doing round ever since heavy rain started pounding the State Villagers say weak embankments will get breached in first floodwater When lives are at stake funds from State exchequer will flow without any obstructions Here comes the harvesting time for engineers and their political bosses they points out Embankments are temporarily repaired and kept ready to be breached during the next year flood According to them it gives local politicians opportunities to get closer to people and make their presence felt The other side of the story is that some people knowingly break embankment to make their uncultivated land submerged They also get good compensationEye opener
An aged woman sanitary worker who used to work in a street of the city used to ask for Rs 20 from each household
She was charging it for the cleaning of the street every day When asked whether she was being paid by the Berhampur Municipal Corporation (BMC) she had an eye opener as her answer
According to her she was not employed by the BMC She had to fish out Rs 1000 to get this job from the BMC appointed sanitary worker of the area
But she was happy with her job
She had no idea that she was being exploited by a person who had subleased his work to her while he was enjoying the pay
But for the woman the official sanitary worker who had unofficially appointed him was a saviour
ldquoHe may be drunkard but he has provided income source to three women like merdquo she said In a tone of obligation she added that the sanitary worker who had appointed her was also paying her Rs 500 every alternate month

s Rain forces closure of schools in Orissas BalasoreTNN 20 July 2009httptimesofindiaindiatimescomNEWSCityBhubaneswarRain-forces-closure-of-schools-in-Orissas-Balasorearticleshow4800055cmsThe Orissa government on Monday ordered closure of schools for two days in Balasore district and rushed rescue teams as the deep depression in the Bay of Bengal headed to the mainland It is likely to cross between Digha in West Bengal and Balasore district in the night weather office here predicted
The government took the steps following weather warning that the depression is likely to cause torrential rain as high as 25 cm at places in the region including Mayurbhanj district in the next 48 hours with wind speed rising up to the level of 65 kmph Tuesday being the new moon day water discharge to the sea would be slow The wind speed may touch 100 kmph We have taken all precautionary measures revenue minister S N Patro said Officials apprehend that Subarnarekha Budhabalanga and Jalaka rivers in the region could be flooded because of heavy rain predicted in Jharkhand and Chhatisgarh in the next few days The government sanctioned Rs one crore to Balasore and Mayurbhanj districts to meet emergency expenditures While the Orissa Disaster Rapid Action Force (ODRAF) was stationed at Balasore the national disaster response team was sent from its base in Munduli near Cuttack to the area Ten power boats were also sent by road to meet any eventuality Rain-related deaths have since mounted to 37 officially in the state The first phase flood in June last year in Balasore district had caused widespread damage in Basta Baliapal Bhogarai and Jaleswar blocks in particular resulting in death of at least 30 persons
Though major flood is ruled out in the Mahanadi river system for the moment panic nevertheless gripped Cuttack city after the municipal authorities closed all the citys outflow gates to the rivers in view of water level rising in Mahanadi and Kathajodi We have engaged about 150 water pumps to flush out water to the river But opening sluice gates would mean allowing river water to enter the city CMC executive engineer A K Parida said
t Death toll in Orissa floods rises to 15 IANS httpwwwdeccanheraldcomcontent13850death-toll-orissa-floods-riseshtmlThe death toll in flash floods that was triggered by heavy monsoon rains rose to 15 in Orissa Wednesday officials said The toll however could be more than 20 according to non-official sources The torrential rains continued to lash most parts of the state for the fourth consecutive day disrupting the public transport system and hitting normal life forcing thousands of people to stay stranded
ldquoThe death toll due to flash floods has risen to 15rdquo Revenue and Disaster Management Minister Surya Narayan Patro said
The district of Nayagarh reported the highest number of deaths on Monday evening where seven people died Other deaths have also been reported from the districts of Kandhamal Koraput Bhadrak and Keonjhar
Most of the deaths were due to drowning and took place during the past three days officials said
The meteorological office has predicted more rains during the next 24 hours and Patro said the government has alerted collectors of all districts to remain alert to meet the challengesldquoNo officials in the flood prone regions would be allowed to go on leave at this momentrdquo Patro said
In the past 24 hours several places recorded high rain fall The highest 1358 mm rain fall was recorded at Titlagarh town the Bhubaneswar meteorological centre saidDamages are caused due to floods mainly in three major rivers Mahanadi Brahmani and Baitaranirdquo The water level of these rivers have crossed warning level in some places state flood control room officials said
The flood water in the Mahanadi River was flowing near Naraj at 2546 meters against the warning level of 2541 meters Wednesday morning at 6 amrdquo control room officials said

Odisha Flood Alert- July 21 2009
21 Jul 2009 ET BureauhttpeconomictimesindiatimescomNewsPoliticsNationOrissa-flood-situation-grim-toll-rises-to-36articleshow4800142cmsTorrential rain triggered by a low pressure over the Bay of Bengal has caused second flood in the state in less than a fortnight taking the toll to 36 and marooning hundreds of villages officials said here on Monday
The flood and rain-related incidents have so far killed 36 people At least half a million people in eight of the 30 districts in the state have been affected by the deluge Orissa revenue and disaster management minister Surjya Narayan Patra said here
While 29 people have been swept away in the strong currents of the flood water seven others died due to collapse of their mud houses
Hundreds of villages in flood-hit districts of Ganjam Kandhamal Kalahandi and Koraput have been inundated and most of them remained cut off from the rest of the state People were seen taking shelter on the roof tops and trees reports reaching the state revenue control room here said
Several roads have been breached in Nayagarh Bolangir Kalahandi Koraput Rayagada and Gajapati districts The stretch of national highway 201 between Bolangir and Sambalpur has been breached while two to three feet water was flowing over several roads in Bolangir town Bolangir incidentally recorded the highest of 190 mm rainfall during the day followed by Titlagarh (129 mm) and Bhawanipatna (107 mm)The state government has pressed Orissa Disaster Rapid Action Force (ODRAF) into service to evacuate the marooned people to safer places Nearly 10000 people have been rescued so far Mr Patra said
The low pressure-induced rains also breached embankments at several places disrupting road communications in many parts of western and southern Orissa The floods also destroyed standing crops in nearly 10000 hectares in these areas officials added
According to Prof S N Pasupalak of Orissa University of Agriculture and Technology the fresh low pressure lying close to Paradeep has intensified further causing heavy rain across Orissa during the next 48 hours Gusty winds ranging from 45 kmph to 55 kmph are expected to blow along and off Orissa coast owing to the system Fishermen have also been warned not to venture into the sea
Major rivers in the state were in spate while some of them were flowing above their danger levels at many places Officials apprehend the flood situation may worsen
Even the famous Sun Temple in Konark remained knee deep in water and tourists were seen wading through three feet water to visit the 13th century Black Pagoda Experts feared the prolonged water-logging might threaten the gigantic structure of the shrine

s Rain forces closure of schools in Orissas BalasoreTNN 20 July 2009httptimesofindiaindiatimescomNEWSCityBhubaneswarRain-forces-closure-of-schools-in-Orissas-Balasorearticleshow4800055cmsThe Orissa government on Monday ordered closure of schools for two days in Balasore district and rushed rescue teams as the deep depression in the Bay of Bengal headed to the mainland It is likely to cross between Digha in West Bengal and Balasore district in the night weather office here predicted
The government took the steps following weather warning that the depression is likely to cause torrential rain as high as 25 cm at places in the region including Mayurbhanj district in the next 48 hours with wind speed rising up to the level of 65 kmph Tuesday being the new moon day water discharge to the sea would be slow The wind speed may touch 100 kmph We have taken all precautionary measures revenue minister S N Patro said Officials apprehend that Subarnarekha Budhabalanga and Jalaka rivers in the region could be flooded because of heavy rain predicted in Jharkhand and Chhatisgarh in the next few days The government sanctioned Rs one crore to Balasore and Mayurbhanj districts to meet emergency expenditures While the Orissa Disaster Rapid Action Force (ODRAF) was stationed at Balasore the national disaster response team was sent from its base in Munduli near Cuttack to the area Ten power boats were also sent by road to meet any eventuality Rain-related deaths have since mounted to 37 officially in the state The first phase flood in June last year in Balasore district had caused widespread damage in Basta Baliapal Bhogarai and Jaleswar blocks in particular resulting in death of at least 30 persons
Though major flood is ruled out in the Mahanadi river system for the moment panic nevertheless gripped Cuttack city after the municipal authorities closed all the citys outflow gates to the rivers in view of water level rising in Mahanadi and Kathajodi We have engaged about 150 water pumps to flush out water to the river But opening sluice gates would mean allowing river water to enter the city CMC executive engineer A K Parida said
t Death toll in Orissa floods rises to 15 IANS httpwwwdeccanheraldcomcontent13850death-toll-orissa-floods-riseshtmlThe death toll in flash floods that was triggered by heavy monsoon rains rose to 15 in Orissa Wednesday officials said The toll however could be more than 20 according to non-official sources The torrential rains continued to lash most parts of the state for the fourth consecutive day disrupting the public transport system and hitting normal life forcing thousands of people to stay stranded
ldquoThe death toll due to flash floods has risen to 15rdquo Revenue and Disaster Management Minister Surya Narayan Patro said
The district of Nayagarh reported the highest number of deaths on Monday evening where seven people died Other deaths have also been reported from the districts of Kandhamal Koraput Bhadrak and Keonjhar
Most of the deaths were due to drowning and took place during the past three days officials said
The meteorological office has predicted more rains during the next 24 hours and Patro said the government has alerted collectors of all districts to remain alert to meet the challengesldquoNo officials in the flood prone regions would be allowed to go on leave at this momentrdquo Patro said
In the past 24 hours several places recorded high rain fall The highest 1358 mm rain fall was recorded at Titlagarh town the Bhubaneswar meteorological centre saidDamages are caused due to floods mainly in three major rivers Mahanadi Brahmani and Baitaranirdquo The water level of these rivers have crossed warning level in some places state flood control room officials said
The flood water in the Mahanadi River was flowing near Naraj at 2546 meters against the warning level of 2541 meters Wednesday morning at 6 amrdquo control room officials said

Odisha Flood Alert- July 21 2009
21 Jul 2009 ET BureauhttpeconomictimesindiatimescomNewsPoliticsNationOrissa-flood-situation-grim-toll-rises-to-36articleshow4800142cmsTorrential rain triggered by a low pressure over the Bay of Bengal has caused second flood in the state in less than a fortnight taking the toll to 36 and marooning hundreds of villages officials said here on Monday
The flood and rain-related incidents have so far killed 36 people At least half a million people in eight of the 30 districts in the state have been affected by the deluge Orissa revenue and disaster management minister Surjya Narayan Patra said here
While 29 people have been swept away in the strong currents of the flood water seven others died due to collapse of their mud houses
Hundreds of villages in flood-hit districts of Ganjam Kandhamal Kalahandi and Koraput have been inundated and most of them remained cut off from the rest of the state People were seen taking shelter on the roof tops and trees reports reaching the state revenue control room here said
Several roads have been breached in Nayagarh Bolangir Kalahandi Koraput Rayagada and Gajapati districts The stretch of national highway 201 between Bolangir and Sambalpur has been breached while two to three feet water was flowing over several roads in Bolangir town Bolangir incidentally recorded the highest of 190 mm rainfall during the day followed by Titlagarh (129 mm) and Bhawanipatna (107 mm)The state government has pressed Orissa Disaster Rapid Action Force (ODRAF) into service to evacuate the marooned people to safer places Nearly 10000 people have been rescued so far Mr Patra said
The low pressure-induced rains also breached embankments at several places disrupting road communications in many parts of western and southern Orissa The floods also destroyed standing crops in nearly 10000 hectares in these areas officials added
According to Prof S N Pasupalak of Orissa University of Agriculture and Technology the fresh low pressure lying close to Paradeep has intensified further causing heavy rain across Orissa during the next 48 hours Gusty winds ranging from 45 kmph to 55 kmph are expected to blow along and off Orissa coast owing to the system Fishermen have also been warned not to venture into the sea
Major rivers in the state were in spate while some of them were flowing above their danger levels at many places Officials apprehend the flood situation may worsen
Even the famous Sun Temple in Konark remained knee deep in water and tourists were seen wading through three feet water to visit the 13th century Black Pagoda Experts feared the prolonged water-logging might threaten the gigantic structure of the shrine

Odisha Flood Alert- July 21 2009
21 Jul 2009 ET BureauhttpeconomictimesindiatimescomNewsPoliticsNationOrissa-flood-situation-grim-toll-rises-to-36articleshow4800142cmsTorrential rain triggered by a low pressure over the Bay of Bengal has caused second flood in the state in less than a fortnight taking the toll to 36 and marooning hundreds of villages officials said here on Monday
The flood and rain-related incidents have so far killed 36 people At least half a million people in eight of the 30 districts in the state have been affected by the deluge Orissa revenue and disaster management minister Surjya Narayan Patra said here
While 29 people have been swept away in the strong currents of the flood water seven others died due to collapse of their mud houses
Hundreds of villages in flood-hit districts of Ganjam Kandhamal Kalahandi and Koraput have been inundated and most of them remained cut off from the rest of the state People were seen taking shelter on the roof tops and trees reports reaching the state revenue control room here said
Several roads have been breached in Nayagarh Bolangir Kalahandi Koraput Rayagada and Gajapati districts The stretch of national highway 201 between Bolangir and Sambalpur has been breached while two to three feet water was flowing over several roads in Bolangir town Bolangir incidentally recorded the highest of 190 mm rainfall during the day followed by Titlagarh (129 mm) and Bhawanipatna (107 mm)The state government has pressed Orissa Disaster Rapid Action Force (ODRAF) into service to evacuate the marooned people to safer places Nearly 10000 people have been rescued so far Mr Patra said
The low pressure-induced rains also breached embankments at several places disrupting road communications in many parts of western and southern Orissa The floods also destroyed standing crops in nearly 10000 hectares in these areas officials added
According to Prof S N Pasupalak of Orissa University of Agriculture and Technology the fresh low pressure lying close to Paradeep has intensified further causing heavy rain across Orissa during the next 48 hours Gusty winds ranging from 45 kmph to 55 kmph are expected to blow along and off Orissa coast owing to the system Fishermen have also been warned not to venture into the sea
Major rivers in the state were in spate while some of them were flowing above their danger levels at many places Officials apprehend the flood situation may worsen
Even the famous Sun Temple in Konark remained knee deep in water and tourists were seen wading through three feet water to visit the 13th century Black Pagoda Experts feared the prolonged water-logging might threaten the gigantic structure of the shrine
