Flood situation continues to be grim in some of the areas of Odisha with four major rivers badly affecting about 3 lakh people in 829 villages. Fresh flood in Brahmani, Baitarani, Budhabalang and Subarnarekha rivers following a heavy downpour wrecked havoc in Bhadrak, Dhenkanal, Jajpur, Kendrapada, Keonjhar and Mayurbjanj districts. As many as 311 villages have been completely marooned in the second spell of flood in the state with thousands waiting for the relief from the state government.Jajpur is cut off from rest of the state as a portion of 120-year-old bridge on Baitarani river at Sathipur caved in. Roads connecting Panikoili to Keonjhar, Keonjhar-Jashipur and Kamakhyanagar-Bhubana have been inundated in flood waters, paralysing vehicular movement. Several state highways in Bhadrak, Keonjhar, Jajpur, Dhenkanal, Kendrapara and Mayurbhanj have also been submerged in many places, throwing traffic out of gear. Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik reviewed the flood situation at a high-level meeting at Bhubaneswar and deputed three senior officials to worst-hit Jajpur, Bhadrak and Kendrapada to monitor and supervise rescue and relief work. Meanwhile, a four-member Central sub-team will be visiting Sambalpur, Bargarh and Subarnapur districts of Odisha to assess the damage and losses in the current flood.
