[CWN-Summit] Severe flood in Orissa - India

Sat Sep 20 10:36:37 CDT 2008

Dear Friends, 

Greetings from Dillip ... 

Orissa .. my state in India are suffering with heavy floods since last 36 hours .. 

Todays news .. 

Lakhs of people were marooned as Orissa on Saturday braced up to a grim flood situation as major rivers, including Mahanadi, caused at least 22 breaches as the army stood by to assist in rescue and relief operation.

Surging waters in the swollen Mahanadi caused 22 breaches in embankments in the complex river system in the deltaic plains as more water was gushing into the Hirakud reservoir in western Orissa, official sources said.

As many as 46 of the 64 sluices of the Hirakud dam had been opened to discharge over 6.93 lakh cusecs as the districts of Angul, Kendrapara, Puri, Cuttack, Jagatsinghpur and Jajpur faced the deluge.

- 450 villages are disconnected 
- 5000 villages are under water
- 14 lakhs people are distressed
- 50000 people have transfereed to other places

Situation is quite hurrible. 

If any body wants to donate anything, please contact us. 

Regards, 

Dillip
