Floods in western Maharashtra: Lack of flood management plan, poor preparedness

Hindustan Times  

A haunting image of a woman lying dead holding a baby that she was trying to save from being drowned after a boat capsized in Sangli district has gone viral. State government officials, however, said the delay in releasing water from Almatti dam in neigbouring Karnataka led to the flood situation going out of hands. As cities such as Kolhapur and Sangli and most of the rural areas of these two districts got flooded, people started using whatever means possible to reach safer places. It is high time chief minister Devendra Fadnavis takes charge of the situation, ensures that the stranded people are rescued and massive relief operation is launched. Now everybody is helpless and authorities can’t do much till water levels recede,” said Prof Pradeep Purandare, hydrology expert and former associate professor with Water and Land Management Institute, Aurangabad.
