a. Five sluice gates opened in Hirakud reservoir

BHUBANESWAR | Saturday, July 18, 2009 http://www.dailypioneer.com/189895/Five-sluice-gates-opened-in-Hirakud-reservoir.html

In a prefixed auspicious time (subha lagna) the authorities of Hirakud Dam project released water from the reservoir to river Mahanadi on Friday at 4.30 pm. The Revenue Divisional Commissioner (RDC) of Northern Division Jamil Ahmed Khan opened the first gate after the rituals. IG of Police YB Khurania, Sambalpur Collector Pradipta Kumar Patnaik and Bargarh Collector SC Padhi were present on the occasion.

"As per the rule curve we have now more water in the reservoir. Mahanadi bed below is almost empty due to scanty rainfall in down-stream. This gives us the opportunity to release the extra

water from the reservoir," said JB Mahapatra, the superintendent engineer (SE) of Hirakud dam project. "We will maintain the level at 600-605 feet up to the first week of August. And the present situation is no worrying for us even as the water level touched 613. 47 feet due to incessant rainfall in the upper catchments from 13 to 15 of the current month," said Mohapatra.

b. 7 sluice gates of Hirakud opened http://expressbuzz.com/edition/story.aspx?Title=7+sluice+gates+of+Hirakud+opened&artid=YbdlUli2aJE=&SectionID=mvKkT3vj5ZA=&MainSectionID=fyV9T2jIa4A=&SectionName=nUFeEOBkuKw=&SEO=

Express News Service First Published : 18 Jul 2009 10:55:54 AM IST

SAMBALPUR: For the first time this year, flood water was discharged from Hirakud Dam with the opening of Seven sluice gates at about 4 pm on Friday. The process began with offering of traditional puja after which Revenue Divisional Commissioner Jamil Ahmed Khan initiated the opening of the gates as hordes of people gathered to witness the event and catch a glimpse of swirling water flowing down the dam into Mahanadi.

Superintendending engineer J B Mohapatra said there has been incessant rain both in the upstream and downstream over last three days due to depression and it was hoped that the water level would go up to 615 feet.Based on this presumption, opening of gates and discharge of water was finalised even as rain has stopped and the situation has improved now. He also disclosed that the Met department has predicted a depression on July 19 and hence water was being discharged beforehand to control flood situation.Release of water from Hirakud has been a major concern in the downstream coastal areas. The Government has already alerted all the collectors to take steps in the event of a flood.Among others present on the occasion were DIG Y B Khurania, District Collector P K Pattnaik and Bargarh Collector Suresh Prasad Padhy.

c. No flood threat for now: Minister Express News Service First Published : 17 Jul 2009 04:18:00 AM ISThttp://expressbuzz.com/edition/story.aspx?Title=No+flood+threat+for+now:+Minister&artid=/CCEHgpvm18=&SectionID=mvKkT3vj5ZA=&MainSectionID=fyV9T2jIa4A=&SectionName=nUFeEOBkuKw=&SEO=

BHUBANESWAR: Flood situation has improved in the State during the last several hours as the low pressure which triggered incessant rainfall in most parts of Orissa has now intensified over neighbouring Chhattisgarh. Most parts of the State will remain cloudy under its impact and there will be sporadic rainfall in some places during the next 24 hours.

Flashfloods in several districts have so far claimed 23 lives. Communication was also disrupted at many places as water was flowing above bridges and roads.Making a statement in the Assembly today, Revenue and Disaster Management Minister Surjya Narayan Patro assured the members that there is no imminent threat of a flood in the State.

However, collectors of districts on both sides of Mahanadi have been asked to take precautionary measures to tackle the situation as the river level is increasing.

According to control room sources, 6.97 lakh cusec water was flowing at Munduli and is likely to increase during the night making the coastal districts vulnerable. The water level of Mahanadi which has shown a rising trend at Naraj will increase further with flood waters from Tel, Hati and Suktel rivers.The swelling waters of Devi, Budhabalanga and Vamsadhara have also kept the district administrations on tenterhook.

The Minister said many places in Ghantapara area in Kantamal block of Boudh district were submerged under the flood waters of Tel river. Similarly, a bridge at Parasar in Kotagarh block of Kandhamal district was also swept away last night in rain water.

Nayagarh district was the most affected in the flashflood taking ten lives.

While seven persons died when a private bus was swept away in rain water flowing above the Besalia bridge in the district, three more died after a wall collapsed.

Vehicular traffic was disrupted on the Saranpur-Godipada-Ranpur, Daspalla-Nayagarh, Nayagarh-Bolgarh and Gania-Chhamundia roads. Similarly, flashflood in Ramial river killed three persons in Keonjhar district.While three persons died in Koraput district, two deaths were recorded in Ganjam district. One person each died in Bhadrak and Cuttack districts.

d. Death toll in Orissa flash floods rises to 23 2009-07-16 20:20:00 http://sify.com/news/fullstory.php?a=jhquu4bgfff&title=Death_toll_in_Orissa_flash_floods_rises_to_23

The toll in flash floods in Orissa, triggered by heavy monsoon rains, rose to 23 Thursday, state Revenue and Disaster Management Minister Surya Narayan Patro said.

While highest number of deaths (ten) have been reported from Nayagarh district, Keonjhar, Kandhamal and Koraput districts have reported three deaths each, Patro said making a statement in the assembly. Two deaths have been reported from Ganjam district, and one death each reported from Bhadrak and Cuttack districts, he said.

Most of the deaths were due to drowning, officials said, adding the flash floods and heavy monsoon rains have also hit farming in the state. Rains continued to lash many parts of the state for the fifth consecutive day Thursday although the weather conditions have improved in parts of the coastal belt, including the state capital Bhubaneswar and adjoining Cuttack.

Patro said the situation is likely to improve soon as water levels in most of the rivers are receding. Orissa is one of the major rice-growing states in India, and has about four million hectares under paddy cultivation. Over 62 percent of the cropped area in the state is rain-fed. Officials said sowing has been completed in only 33 percent of the area.

'The kharif sowing has slowed down in the past few days due to excessive rainfall in parts of the state,' Agriculture and Food Production Director Arabinda Kumar Padhee told IANS. The flash floods have submerged nearly 7,000 hectares, including 6,400 hectares in Nayagarh district and 250 hectares in Jagatsinghpur district. Farmers who have suffered losses would be suitably compensated by the government, Padhee said.

Heavy rains have also slowed down the cargo handling operation in Paradip port, about 120 km from here, a senior port official said. 'The cargo handling operation has slowed down due to heavy rains,' Paradip port trust chairman K.Raghuramaiah told IANS.

e. Flood threat looms large in the state Express News Service 19 Jul 2009 02:58:57 PM IST

Already battered by heavy rains, a fresh low pressure over Bay of Bengal triggered intermittent showers across the State on Saturday.

The system, which formed over adjoining north-west Bay of Bengal this morning, is expected to become more marked over the next couple of days and cause more rains, the Met office said. Since a vigorous monsoon has already led to heavy rainfall over catchments of the major rivers in the last seven days, the State Government sounded off the Eastern Air Command at Shillong to be in a state of readiness in case of any exigency. The Met department said the low-pressure area has formed under the influence of an upper air cyclonic circulation. It would intensify in the next two days. The system caused heavy rains over coastal as well as interior areas.

Paradip received 8 cm and Chandbali over 6 cm rain during the day. Other places, which received consistent showers, were Balasore (3 cm), Cuttack (3 cm), Bhawanipatna (3 cm) and Bhubaneswar (2 cm). Heavy to very heavy rainfall is likely over isolated places of the State in the next 48 hours. Fishermen have been warned against venturing into the sea. Considering the course of the system - if it intensifies and crosses Orissa coast, Special Relief Commissioner (SRC) has already planned a deployment schedule of power boats. The collectors have been authorised to hire country boats as and when necessary.
