In the wake of the second wave of flooding in the Brahmani river, as many as ten panchayats under Pattamundai block in Kendrapara district have been completely cut off from the outside world on Tuesday.
As per reports, rising water levels since last night have submerged roads, with floodwaters reaching waist-deep in several areas. The situation has severely disrupted transportation, causing significant difficulties for local residents.
"We are not able to move anywhere for our daily work as the road communication has been completely snapped due to flood water," said a woman in the area.
"We don't have any boat facilities here. Hence, it is very difficult to move on the road because of the strong current of water. We were able to move on the roads yesterday. However, the roads have been submerged today due to the rising water level since last night," said another woman.
"We are afraid of the crocodiles. We are not able to move anywhere for our daily work due to a lack of boat facilities. The administration is doing nothing for us. People have been stranded due to a sudden rise in the water level. We are facing many difficulties, sans food and drinking water," rued another resident.
