Situation Analysis:
An update information of flood situation in Coastal India:
The floods triggered by heavy rains under the influence of a deep depression in the Bay of Bengal has affected 6 states - Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Goa, Madhya Pradesh and Orissa. It has destroyed standing crops, civic infrastructure, electricity and telecom facilities and paralysed road and rail transport.
In Orissa, incessant rain across the state has caused flash floods in Balasore and Mayurbhanj districts. This has affected more than 60,000 people in 103 villages. Flood water of Budhabalang, Gangahar, Sono, Kansabas and Jalaka rivers have entered the villages. The people from several areas in Mayurbhanj and Balasore are being shifted to safer places.
In Goa, several people remained trapped in their houses in the border taluka of Canacona where over 250 houses have collapsed so far in the flood. State administration confirmed that other 400 houses were inundated due to rains. Goa Chief Minister Digamber Kamat has rushed to the affected area where the district administration coupled with Army and Navy has initiated intense rescue operations. Official figures confirmed the death of two people who were washed away in the flood waters. The villages Poinguinim, Partagali, Delem, Agonda and Khotigao remained under water throughout night, No efforts were spared to bring marooned people to safety.
Five days of torrential rain have left more than 240 people dead and more than 1 million displaced in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. Large parts of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka have been inundated. Flooding worsened after authorities released water from rain-swollen reservoirs and dams in both states to prevent them from bursting their banks. Damage to crops, public and private infrastructure has been unprecedented and w'd exceed Rs 2000 crore. The floods have submerged entire villages, snapped transport and communication links and raised fears of epidemic in relief camps crowded with people forced out of their homes. Air Force helicopters dropped food and drinking water packages to hundreds of villages that remained cut off after roads were submerged or washed away.
Andhra Pradesh- The situation is equally grim in Krishna, Kurnool and Mahabubnagar districts, where thousands of people are still stranded in floodwaters due to heavy rains that battered the state for the past six days.

The floods triggered by heavy rains under the influence of a deep depression in the Bay of Bengal has affected 6 states - Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Goa, Madhya Pradesh and Orissa. It has destroyed standing crops, civic infrastructure, electricity and telecom facilities and paralysed road and rail transport.
In Orissa, incessant rain across the state has caused flash floods in Balasore and Mayurbhanj districts. This has affected more than 60,000 people in 103 villages. Flood water of Budhabalang, Gangahar, Sono, Kansabas and Jalaka rivers have entered the villages. The people from several areas in Mayurbhanj and Balasore are being shifted to safer places.
In Goa, several people remained trapped in their houses in the border taluka of Canacona where over 250 houses have collapsed so far in the flood. State administration confirmed that other 400 houses were inundated due to rains. Goa Chief Minister Digamber Kamat has rushed to the affected area where the district administration coupled with Army and Navy has initiated intense rescue operations. Official figures confirmed the death of two people who were washed away in the flood waters. The villages Poinguinim, Partagali, Delem, Agonda and Khotigao remained under water throughout night, No efforts were spared to bring marooned people to safety.
Five days of torrential rain have left more than 205 people dead and 750,000 displaced in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. Large parts of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka have been inundated. Flooding worsened after authorities released water from rain-swollen reservoirs and dams in both states to prevent them from bursting their banks. The floods have submerged entire villages, snapped transport and communication links and raised fears of epidemic in relief camps crowded with people forced out of their homes. Air Force helicopters dropped food and drinking water packages to hundreds of villages that remained cut off after roads were submerged or washed away.
Andhra Pradesh
Andhra Pradesh- The situation is equally grim in Krishna, Kurnool and Mahabubnagar districts, where thousands of people are still stranded in floodwaters due to heavy rains that battered the state for the past six days. Massive rescue operations are on to evacuate people from inundated areas in several districts of the state. Army personnel and National Disaster Reserve Force have also deployed in rescue operations. 14 trains diverted on Guntakal division due to flooding. Chief Minister K Roasaiah is reviewing the flood situation constantly.
On jurala, the first major dam on the Krishna in the state of Andhra Pradesh, 49 flood gates were lifted to release over seven lakh cusecs of water into the Krishna River. Thungabhadra, which is also in spate, lifted all the 33 gates of the dam near hospet in Karataka and released 4 lakh cuscus of water down stream. Srisailam, which has been full for the past 15 days, lifted 11 of its 12 huge crest gates to a height of 40 feet and released 11 lakh cusecs of water to the Nagarjunasagar dam.Though the situation in Kurnool and Mahabubnagar is improving, Krishna and Guntur District are likely to get affected by floods. "The administration has been put on high alert and people living in low-laying areas have been asked to shift to safer places, as heavy discharge of waters from Nagarjunasagar dam and Prakasam barrage are likely to submerge several villages in the next 12-24 hours,"
Karnataka: The entire north Karnataka has been ravaged by the fury of rains the like of which the State has not seen in the recent past. Probably the damage to life and property is much more than what is being estimated. Hundreds of thousands of homes have been destroyed in floods, rendering large number of people homeless. Crops have been lost and farmers have suffered losses running into crores of rupees. Even the speedy relief measurers will take some time to reach the affected people”.
‘There is respite from rains and further flooding in north Karnataka since the last 12 hours while coastal and central parts of the state continue to receive moderate to heavy rains. The death toll mounted to 170. Water levels have also started receding in the flooded areas. But severe damage to roads, bridges and state/national highways is hampering supplies and rehabilitation works.
The state has, meanwhile, intensified rescue and relief operations in the worst-hit districts to provide succor and shelter to thousands of people, who were forced to flee their villages and towns due to the flash floods that left a trail of death and destruction. ‘About 177,500 people are being sheltered and fed at 598 rehab centres opened across the affected districts. Many others stranded in villages and smaller towns due to flood waters and damage to road links have been shifted to school buildings and community halls.
About 20,000 food packets air-droppedin the marooned villages of Bijapur, Bagalkot, Bellary, Koppal, Raichur and Gulbarga districts as the affected people remained cut-off. A round-the-clock flood relief cell had been set up at Air Force station Yelahanka and Hakimpet to meet the situation. They also dropping about 750 Kgs of relief material mainly food packets in and around the flood-hit areas. 88 food camps have been set up and schools and community halls are being used as temporary relief camps. One lakh rupees each has been released to the family of the deceased.
- The All India Trade union Congress (AITUC) has urged all its affiliated unions to contribute a day’s wages to the Karnataka Chief Minister’s Relief Fund as a contribution to the ongoing rain relief work. AITUC had also directed trade unions to actively participate in the relief work like collecting clothes, medicines and money.
Response of Armed forces: The armed forces on Saturday intensified search, rescue and relief operations in flood-ravaged Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.
The IAF has deployed 13 helicopters — 5 MI-8 and 8 Chetaks in the two States and they have flown 17 sorties.

Situation Analysis:
An update information of flood situation in Coastal India:
The floods triggered by heavy rains under the influence of a deep depression in the Bay of Bengal has affected 6 states - Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Goa, Madhya Pradesh and Orissa. It has destroyed standing crops, civic infrastructure, electricity and telecom facilities and paralysed road and rail transport.
In Orissa, incessant rain across the state has caused flash floods in Balasore and Mayurbhanj districts. This has affected more than 60,000 people in 103 villages. Flood water of Budhabalang, Gangahar, Sono, Kansabas and Jalaka rivers have entered the villages. The people from several areas in Mayurbhanj and Balasore are being shifted to safer places.
In Goa, several people remained trapped in their houses in the border taluka of Canacona where over 250 houses have collapsed so far in the flood. State administration confirmed that other 400 houses were inundated due to rains. Goa Chief Minister Digamber Kamat has rushed to the affected area where the district administration coupled with Army and Navy has initiated intense rescue operations. Official figures confirmed the death of two people who were washed away in the flood waters. The villages Poinguinim, Partagali, Delem, Agonda and Khotigao remained under water throughout night, No efforts were spared to bring marooned people to safety.
Five days of torrential rain have left more than 205 people dead and 750,000 displaced in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. Large parts of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka have been inundated. Flooding worsened after authorities released water from rain-swollen reservoirs and dams in both states to prevent them from bursting their banks. The floods have submerged entire villages, snapped transport and communication links and raised fears of epidemic in relief camps crowded with people forced out of their homes. Air Force helicopters dropped food and drinking water packages to hundreds of villages that remained cut off after roads were submerged or washed away.
Andhra Pradesh
Andhra Pradesh- The situation is equally grim in Krishna, Kurnool and Mahabubnagar districts, where thousands of people are still stranded in floodwaters due to heavy rains that battered the state for the past six days. Massive rescue operations are on to evacuate people from inundated areas in several districts of the state. Army personnel and National Disaster Reserve Force have also deployed in rescue operations. 14 trains diverted on Guntakal division due to flooding. Chief Minister K Roasaiah is reviewing the flood situation constantly.
On jurala, the first major dam on the Krishna in the state of Andhra Pradesh, 49 flood gates were lifted to release over seven lakh cusecs of water into the Krishna River. Thungabhadra, which is also in spate, lifted all the 33 gates of the dam near hospet in Karataka and released 4 lakh cuscus of water down stream. Srisailam, which has been full for the past 15 days, lifted 11 of its 12 huge crest gates to a height of 40 feet and released 11 lakh cusecs of water to the Nagarjunasagar dam.Though the situation in Kurnool and Mahabubnagar is improving, Krishna and Guntur District are likely to get affected by floods. "The administration has been put on high alert and people living in low-laying areas have been asked to shift to safer places, as heavy discharge of waters from Nagarjunasagar dam and Prakasam barrage are likely to submerge several villages in the next 12-24 hours,"
Karnataka: The entire north Karnataka has been ravaged by the fury of rains the like of which the State has not seen in the recent past. Probably the damage to life and property is much more than what is being estimated. Hundreds of thousands of homes have been destroyed in floods, rendering large number of people homeless. Crops have been lost and farmers have suffered losses running into crores of rupees. Even the speedy relief measurers will take some time to reach the affected people”.
‘There is respite from rains and further flooding in north Karnataka since the last 12 hours while coastal and central parts of the state continue to receive moderate to heavy rains. The death toll mounted to 170. Water levels have also started receding in the flooded areas. But severe damage to roads, bridges and state/national highways is hampering supplies and rehabilitation works.
The state has, meanwhile, intensified rescue and relief operations in the worst-hit districts to provide succor and shelter to thousands of people, who were forced to flee their villages and towns due to the flash floods that left a trail of death and destruction. ‘About 177,500 people are being sheltered and fed at 598 rehab centres opened across the affected districts. Many others stranded in villages and smaller towns due to flood waters and damage to road links have been shifted to school buildings and community halls.
About 20,000 food packets air-droppedin the marooned villages of Bijapur, Bagalkot, Bellary, Koppal, Raichur and Gulbarga districts as the affected people remained cut-off. A round-the-clock flood relief cell had been set up at Air Force station Yelahanka and Hakimpet to meet the situation. They also dropping about 750 Kgs of relief material mainly food packets in and around the flood-hit areas. 88 food camps have been set up and schools and community halls are being used as temporary relief camps. One lakh rupees each has been released to the family of the deceased.
