Villagers run out of supplies they had stocked ahead of the cyclone

BHUBANESWAR:
Three days after the extremely severe cyclonic storm Fani hit Odisha coast, the State government on Monday reached several villages blocked by uprooted trees and collapsed electrical poles for the first time to find people in dire need of water, food and polythene sheets.

The famed marine drive road between Konark and Puri was cleared on Monday. When the cyclone warning came in the last week of April, people living in villages and hamlets had stocked food in their houses. But in the last three days, they had exhausted all theirs stocks. The demand for immediate supply of food and other basic materials is growing louder but officials are unable to meet it.

Polythene sheets are now in high demand as thatched and asbestos roofs were blown away in the strong winds. With green cover in villages completely stripped off, people are finding it difficult to find shelter under the scorching sun.

Several island villages inside Chilika Lake were said to have been badly devastated. To reach them, one has to go 70 km from Puri by road and then undertake an hour of boat journey. Most of the villages fall under the Krushnaprasad block. In the absence of mobile network, villagers had to undertake the strenuous journey to inform government officials about the acute crisis prevailing in their villages.
