villages have flooded due to breaks of dam

Many villages have flooded due to breaks of dam near Keleghai and Kangsavati rivers.

The Keleghai River Dam in Potashpur is in danger of breaking. The Bagui River already floods several areas of Potashpur No. 1 block. However, the government already warned about an upcoming cyclone in West Bengal.

Mrinal Kanti Das, head of forests and lands for the East Midnapore district council, said the area of ​​the Potashpur police station was completely submerged.

At least 3,000 homeless families. They have been evacuated to a safe place. Panic is growing as a result of rising river levels.

In 2007, village after village was flooded when the Keleghai River dam broke. The locals suffered.

In 2011, the Trinamool government led by Mamata Banerjee came to power. Later, the Keleghai River was rehabilitated by a joint initiative of the state and the center.

That memory came back after 10 years. The Bagui River floods several areas of the Patashpur No. 1 block.

On Thursday, the block’s administrative officials, including MLA Uttam Barik, visited the river dam throughout the day. The meeting is also in the afternoon.

But since dusk, the situation began to deteriorate. Work has already started to evacuate residents from flooded areas. Administrative officials said they did not panic unnecessarily.

Meanwhile, a large area of ​​two-gram panchayats in Panskura was washed away by the embankment of the Kangsabati River. The water rushed towards the town.
