2. Selected News from Local English Media 2 (17th Sept, 2011) a. Baitarani crosses danger Level, Jajpur on alert
Express News Service Last Updated : 17 Sep 2011 11:27:11 AM IST BHUBANESWAR: As flood water began to recede in Mahanadi, the Governments attention was shifted to Baitarani where a fresh spell of flood was reported following heavy rains in its catchment. With persistent rainfall in Champua, Keonjhar, Sompatna, Jashipur and Jhumupra, Baitarani had crossed the danger level at Akhuapada while flowing close to the danger mark at Anandpur. The Government put Jajpur and other districts on alert. In Jajpur, at least 5 lakh people have been hit by the floods. The Government also switched to rehabilitation and restoration mode in the 19 districts where over 27 lakh people have been badly hit by the floods. With over 55,000 dwelling units damaged in 13 districts, house building was a major

task before the Government which has asked the Collectors to submit a detailed reports after the water receded in the affected districts. Kendrapara has been the worst hit with at least 27,000 housing units bearing the brunt. So far, at least 4121 villages have been affected by the floods in 95 blocks and 16 urban local bodies. As water level dropped in the river and flood showed signs of improvement, the Government estimated that close to 25 percent of the total affected villages continue to be marooned. The 1,278 cut-off villages had very little access to food and relief even though the Government tried to speed up relief work. Distribution of polythene sheets to those living on embankments was a major thrust since rains continued to lash intermittently. At least 99,663 rolls were distributed by Friday while the Government said it had a stock of over 2.74 lakh rolls. Although people have started returning to their homes, we have enough stock of polythene and districts have been asked to place order, an officer said. Damage to standing crops was another issue the Government was worried about. While crop loss assessment will be made after water receded, the districts were asked to begin the process. As per the preliminary estimate, over 2.15 lakh hectare crop area was affected. Agriculture Department sources said, the major worry was pest attack in the aftermath of the floods and all the district agriculture officers had been instructed to report any attack immediately. Nischintakoili block of Cuttack had already reported the first such attack. We are focussing on alternative crop in view of the damage to the standing crops. Order for seeds will soon be placed with the Orissa Seeds Corporation since groundnut will be the thrust area for farmers in the coming days, a senior officer said. Topics:

b. Mahanadi lays waste to crops

SN Agragami Express News Service Last Updated : 17 Sep 2011 11:48:47 AM IST BANKI: As the water recedes from Charigharia village, Sisir Parida struggles to come to terms with the trail of devastation that the high floods in Mahanadi have left behind. The stretch of land that was lush green and brimming with vegetable produce only a week back has been rendered brown, layered with feet high mud and sand silt. Only the dry stalks of dead plants remain bearing testimony to the ravages of the floods this year. And Parida has been left ruing his fate. All the standing auberjine and local beans crop over 1.5 acre of land have been washed away along with paddy over another two acre. I had got Rs. 25,000 loan for the crops. The vegetable produce would have got me Rs. 2 lakh this season but now everything is lost, he says. A few kilometres away at Nishitpur, Purna Jena embodies the same predicament. He had grown ladys finger, beans, bitter gourd (kalara) and pear gourd (potal) over two acres, all of which has been swept away in the ravaging floods. Across Banki, similar tales of loss abound. As almost the bulk of the over 1500 population of Karabara still shelter under polythene tents on the embankment, Abhaduta casts a forlorn look at a patch of land that is emerging from the shallows of the receding Mahanadi. He had grown cauliflower on one acre. The crop would have been ready during the holy Kartik month in November. The produce would have brought me good returns, most of the people in the State turn vegetarian during the time, he laments. The block, which is regarded as the vegetable garden of the district, has sustained severe setback in terms of vegetable produce this season. The vegetable areas are primarily located at the fertile land adjacent on in close vicinity of the Mahanadi river. The flood fury, resultantly, has hit this very aspect first. According to official estimates, more than 1000 hectares of vegetable cultivated land have been damaged in the floods in Banki. The loss in terms of produce could run into several crores of rupees as a joint verification by the Agriculture and other allied departments like Horticulture has gone underway in the worst affected pocket of the district.

The impact of the floods on agriculture across the State is being already felt in the market. As vegetable prices have hit the roof, worse is on the way, the market experts have warned. More than 30 percent of the vegetables sold at Chhatra Bazaar, the largest vegetable mandi of the State, come from Banki region. With supply cut-off due to flood damage, a scarcity situation would arise pushing the prices of vegetables further upwards, secretary of Chhatra Bazaar Debendra Sahoo said.

c. Scrap Sindol project, says House panel

Express News Service Last Updated : 17 Sep 2011 11:24:24 AM IST BHUBANESWAR: The Naveen Patnaik Government on Friday suffered yet another jolt with a House Committee resolving that the Sindol project should be scrapped even as the Opposition members of the panel boycotted its first meeting. The committee will place its recommendation in the next session of the Assembly. While announcing the formation of the committee in the Assembly during the monsoon session last month, Sp eaker Pradip Amat had asked the State Government not to proceed with project-related work till the panel submitted its report. With the Opposition members boycotting the meeting, only five members, including the Speaker and four from the BJD, attended it. Former minister Padmanabha Behera, BJD MLA from Birmaharajpur constituency, told this paper that the committee felt there is no necessity for the project. We visited our constituencies during the flood and felt that there is no need for such a project, he said. BJD member from Kantamal Bhagaban Kanhar said when people do not want the project, why should the Government go ahead with it. We recommended that there should be no such project, he said. Two ministers __ Prasanna Acharya and Niranjan Pujhari __ also strongly opposed the project. While Acharya represents the Rairakhol constituency, Pujhari is elected from Sonepur constituency. The committee was constituted after the Opposition protested against the ` 2,600 cr project under which three barrages were planned to be set up in Sambalpur, Sonepur and Boudh districts of western region. The MoU was recently signed between the state-owned OHPC and NHPC for developing the proposed 320 MW Sindol project. Locals opposed the project accusing the State Government of keeping them in the dark as it signed the MoU without informing the villagers or holding public hearing. Since we are opposed to the project, there is no point in attending the meeting, BJP member Jaynarayan Mishra said, adding the Government should immediately announce cancellation of the project as it would submerge a large number of villages, besides fertile agricultural fields. Stating that there was no need for the House Committee, Mishra said it was formed to visit the spot and take peoples opinion. But the members resolved to scrap the project without even visiting the project sites, he said and alleged that the Government did not give a detailed project report (DPR) on it.

d. Survey crop damage in time-bound manner: CM

The Pioneer, Friday, 16 September 2011 23:45 PNS | Bhubaneswar With the flood waters receding further in the affected areas, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Friday asked the Agriculture Department to undertake assessment of crop damage in a time-bound manner to help the farmers get compensation and related assistance so that they could take up the next cropping. Patnaik instructed the department to ensure display of the crop damage report along with the land involved in details in each village for information of the farmers. The Chief Minister, who took up a review at the State secretariat on crop loss and the on-going relief operation, asked the Agriculture Department to undertake assessment of the crop damage and sand casting of crop land immediately by

Odisha Flood Alert

a joint survey in co-ordination with senior officials of the Revenue and Statistics Department to maintain transparency and fairness. He said that while undertaking survey of the crop loss, all possible care should be taken to save the interest of the small and marginal farmers and real land owners. The Chief Minister also categorically told the department that the survey must include loss to the crops under agriculture, horticulture, sericulture and also loss to plantation. He also advised the assistance towards the crop loss to be paid to the beneficiary through A/C payee cheques. An estimated 2.15 lakh hectares of crop areas have been affected due to the floods, according to official sources.

e. Vexed Sindhol project to be nipped in bud

The Pioneer, Friday, 16 September 2011 23:44 PNS | Bhubaneswar The Odisha House Committee headed by the Speaker PK Amat is all set to ask the State Government to bury the vexed Sindhol hydro-power project for all time to come. Amat who on Friday held the first meeting of the House Panel which was boycotted by the Opposition Congress and BJP members, clarified that the final report would be prepared on the fate of Sindol project as per the unanimous opinion. The report would be submitted in the next session of the Assembly, he said. If the proceedings of the first meeting of the House Committee is any indication, the proposed Sindol Hydel project would be nipped in the bud much to the shock and solace as well for the BJD Government. While the members of the committee belonging to the Opposition, leader of Opposition Bhupinder Singh, Santosh Singh Saluja of Congress and Jayanarayan Mishra of the BJP opted out of the meeting protesting against the House Committee itself, ruling BJD members, Health and Family Welfare Minister , Prasanna Acharya, Food Supply and Consumer Welfare Minister Niranjan Pujari, Padmanav Behera and Bhaban Kaanhar who attended the meeting strongly made their point against the Sindol project. All the members of the panel belong to western Odisha, the people of which cutting across party lines were up in the arms against the State Governments decision to set up the barrage based hydro power project in three stages. I have reflected the opinion of the people on the Sindol project and it is for House to decide, said Health Minister Prasanna Acharya. In a similar vein, Food Supplies Minster Pujari said, I have made my point very clear. Being the peoples representative of the area, I have voiced against the project. The project should be stopped forthwith. Since the people of the project area are opposing and agitating , there is no need of a House Committee to take up public hearing. Former Minister and the present Sonepur MLA Padmanav Behera said the views of the people are very clear. No attempts should be made to go ahead with the project. The Government should understand the feeling of the people, who were aggrieved . Earlier, during the monsoon session of the Assembly, the Sindol issue had rocked house with both the Treasury and Opposition members vehemently opposed the project and urged the Government to drop the decision. As the members sought the intervention of the Speaker on the issue, Amat had directed the Government to form a House Committee to undertake public hearing and take decision on the fate of the project. The Speaker had asked the Government not to go ahead with project till the report of the House committee there by putting the project in suspended animation. However, as the Government announced the formation of the committee, the Opposition members announced that they would not be part of the panel. The Government should announce its decision to stop the project in the house taking the views of the members and the Opposition in western Odisha.
