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.
