Answer:
Flood in 100 East Midnapore villages
Aug. 21: Incessant rain in the past two days has flooded over 100 villages in the coastal areas of East Midnapore, affecting at least 11,000 people.
District officials in the two Midnapores and Bankura have issued an alert after 30,000 cusecs of water were released from the Kangsabati barrage in Mukutmanipur, raising fears of floods in the low-lying areas of the districts.
However, Met officials said the rainfall could reduce from tomorrow as the depression over the Bay of Bengal had moved into Jharkhand.
Police in Digha today had a tough time preventing tourists from jumping over the guard walls as a high tide lead to waves four to five metres tall. Nearly 10,000 tourists were present in the beach resort today.
Irrigation minister Rajiv Banerjee today met officials of the three flood-prone districts in East Midnapore’s Panskura.
Asked why the water was released from the barrage, the superintending engineer of the Kangsabati division, A.K. Dutta, said: “The water was released as the level in the reservoir rose above the danger level.” The official added that heavy rain in Jharkhand had led to the Kangsabati swelling and the subsequent rise in the barrage’s water level.
Irrigation department officials feared that low-lying areas could be cut off, with smaller rivers fed by the Kangsabati continuing to overflow with the release of the barrage water.
