Floods continue to wreak havoc in Arunachal
Anjaw devastated by flood and lanslide
ITANAGAR, Sept 24: Although the water level in Siang and various other rivers in flood hit districts started receding flood waters continued to play havoc in many eastern Arunachal districts.
Anjaw located in China-
Economic adviser to CM and lone MLA of the district, Kalikho Pul, who managed to establish telephonic communication by travelling three kms from his residence, informed this daily Monday evening that the five people have been reported dead in different parts of the hilly district, whose all seven administrative centres at Hayuliang, Hawai, Manchal, Goiliang, Walong, Kibithoo and Chaglogam were completely cut off. The details were being collected.
At least 30 to 35 major breaches all along the Tezu-

While expressing deep shock at the suffering of the poor local people, he informed that about 25 houses were completely destroyed by landslides and landslips leaving the occupants roofless. People did not anticipate such massive rain and flood in September and were caught off guard to face the wrath of nature, he reasoned.
Though there was acute shortage of PDS items and requisition was sent to the state government, but ration sortie could not materialise due to constant bad weather, Pul said, adding all educational institution were closed.
Meanwhile, Lohit district administration informed that one person drowned while three others were saved from drowning by GREF and Army personnel when they were coming from Hayuliang to Tezu. Further, three persons are reportedly missing in Durra Nalla area and search operation to trace a woman, who was caught in landslide, was going on.
The road communication to Tezu remained cut off from the rest of the country for the sixth day today causing acute shortage of POL items, kerosine, LPG and other essential commodities, it informed.
Though BRO was working on war footing to restore the road communication, it might take more time to fully restore it as the magnitude of devastation was huge. Water supply and electricity are yet to be restored in Tezu and Sunpura. Restoration of electricity may take a month or more as towers crossing Lohit river were totally washed away by flood water, the release said.
Flood damage assessment teams have been formed to assess individual crop, house and livestock loss in the district. All the executing agencies are advised to submit detailed flood damage reports after flood water recedes.
“Food items are regularly dispatched to marooned people in various villages as per requirement,” it said adding that “steps are being taken to tackle post flood situation”.
The Mebo sub-

Flood damages, erosions, water logging, rise in water levels of rivers and tributaries and damages to standing crops during the harvesting seasons have been reported from many parts of the district. The district is also reeling under darkness for the last three days due to maintenances of electric lines.
Meanwhile, the West Siang Deputy Commissioner, Marnya Ete has asked all administrative officers to draw out contingency plans at their level to meet up all crises that are likely to crop up.
The Upper Siang district has also been facing acute shortage of essential items, including cooking gas due to disruption in road communication due to incessant rains. With inputs from DIPROs

ITANAGAR, Sept 24: Danbar Doley and Langkesar Perme at their 40 are vacantly looking

everything they had. Both Doley and Perme of Paglam village, a CO headquarters under

“We have lost everything in the flood and now we are feeling totally hopeless,” said Dilip Pangging. He informed that many families, who have lost everything to flood, are taking shelter either in relatives’ house or at makeshift in compulsion which are not fit for human living.
The situation in the western part of Lower Dibang Valley district is still grim, apparently Dambuk, Paglam and Anpum villages are left to mercy of nature, since there is no accessibility to those areas. Even the air sorties had to be suspended today due to inclement weather. According to reports, there was acute shortage of food items in the flood hit areas.
According to sub-
There is growing anger amongst the flood victims of this area against the state government and the district administration as they are not provided any relief items till today. They alleged that the administration is not doing anything to provide them food and shelter.
“We are isolated and left out. There is no efforts either from the government or district administration to reach out the victims,” said a victim angrily. He further said that people need food and shelter but not consolation at this hour of crisis.
However, the district administration clarified that they are helpless due to inaccessibility of the areas. “We are helpless since there is no accessibility to those affected areas; we are pinning hope on air sortie only,” said DC Garima Gupta.
Like Doley and Perme there are many marooned families surrounded by the wild flood water, who do not even have a mobile phone to communicate with the other parts of the world and tell their ordeal.

Thursday, 13th September, 2012, turned out to be a rainy wet morning, with the heavens opening up and drenching the world in torrents of water. But, as bad as the weather was, it could do little to dampen our spirits as we left Shillong and headed for the Ziro Music Festival in Arunachal Pradesh. We had decided, in one of our formal meetings as the Meghalaya Tourism Development Forum, to attend the festival for two reasons. Firstly, to learn from the experience so that we could replicate what was good about the festival in the Shillong Autumn Festival. And, secondly, to network with the people there and help them in any way we could. Accordingly, eight of us members of the MTDF, set out for Ziro that rainy morning, in two vehicles.
We had decided to drive through and spend the first night in the NEEPCO guest house at the Ranganadhi project, situated one and a half hours short of Ziro. It was going to be a long trip, so we had left early from Shillong. The journey went as expected, without any major hitches, until we reached Pohumara village in Assam where we had to turn off the highway to head for the border town of Kimin in Arunachal. That road turned so bad, it took us the better part of an hour to cover that 14 km stretch. We literally “shook, rattled and rolled” along, and that lap of our trip seemed endless. The pouring rain and low visibility, of course, did not help. So it was with a sigh of relief that we finally crossed over into Arunachal and headed for the hills and our first night stop.
We got into the NEEPCO guesthouse, tired and hungry, rather late that night, and we were so relieved to find the kitchen staff waiting up for us. A hot shower and a satisfying dinner later, we all retired for the night. The next morning we awoke to hear the rain still incessantly drumming on the tin roof. Reluctantly we peeled ourselves out of bed to hunt for a hot cup of tea. We stepped out of our rooms and were greeted by the most astounding scenery. We were in a little township, nestled among the hills, on the banks of this river swollen by the rains. The scene was straight out of a Chinese water colour painting, with the hills partially hidden by puffs of white clouds. We spent the rest of the morning lolling around on the veranda outside our rooms, immersed in the ambience of the natural surroundings. That and the warm hospitality of the officers and staff of NEEPCO is a memory we will long cherish.
After a sumptuous lunch we headed out for the last stretch to our final destination. Snaking our way up and down the hills, we were greeted at every bend of the road by the most amazing scenery one can imagine
The raging rivers and streams roaring past serene paddy fields and sleepy towns took our breaths away. Deepak Laloo, MTDF Vice President and an angling buff was left drooling over the possibilities of fishing the rivers and streams. However the swift and turbid waters deterred him from giving it a try and the rest of us were silently grateful for the opportunity to travel without any interruptions. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Deepak announced that we were approaching Ziro at last. We all credited that revelation to memories from his previous visit to Ziro, until he pointed out the garbage littering the slopes along the sides of the road. It was like a beautiful woman revealing a mouthful of decaying teeth as she smiled, and we felt sickened and saddened by it. An efficient garbage and solid waste management system suitable for our villages, towns and cities in the North East, is an urgent necessity.
When we entered Ziro, we decided to head straight for the festival venue, nestled among the paddy fields that made up the Ziro flatland. After the rough ride from Pohumara to Kimin, a second twist awaited us. We parked our vehicles and stepped out onto a field of thick, sticky, slushy mud. Getting from that parking lot to the concert area was an obstacle course that would have brought out the best in a seasoned Vietcong! But when we got to the venue we forgot the mud, we forgot the rain, and we just marvelled at the ambience of the venue. On top of a mound amidst the paddy fields it seemed almost too perfect to be true. Our heartfelt gratitude goes to Bobby Hano and his team for the three days of pure, unadulterated musical bliss. The music just got better and better. Twenty superb bands, interspersed with cultural items, to finally apex with the musical icon of the northeast, Lou Majaw and friends. What was heartening was to find the Tourism Minister, the Parliamentary secretary looking after Tourism, the local MLA, the Tourism Secretary, the Deputy Commissioner and the Superintendent of Police, supporting the festival and enjoying the music. With that sort of support, I am certain that the festival will grow to become a major event in the national calendar of festivals. Our most precious mementoes from the festival – our camouflage gumboots that we had bought from the local market on the morning of the second day!
I cannot end this piece without telling you something else that we loved from the Ziro experience. Our heartfelt gratitude also goes to our hosts, Punyo Chada and his wife, at Ngunu Ziro. Their kitchen, in particular, including the awesome food our hostess produced there, simply blew us all away. We spent endless hours sipping, eating and chatting in that kitchen, retiring to our rooms only to sleep. Its ethnic design, and its warmth, drew us to the room much like moths to a light. Chada would enthral us for hours with stories and explanations of the Apatani customs and traditions. He told us of the special ecosystems in the paddy fields, where paddy cultivation and aquacultre supported each other. His deepest fear of encroachment by dwelling houses onto the paddy fields, and how it would adversely affect the existing fragile traditional ecosystem, was a fear that we too shared. I do hope the legislature would pass appropriate laws that would protect these and similar traditional practices from the adverse affects of modern development.
We learnt a lot from our Ziro experience. We learnt that taking proper care of the guests is the first of essential ingredients. We learnt that lack of physical infrastructure can be overcome by the beauty of our natural surroundings and the strength of human warmth. We learnt that the Home Stay concept can really work, provided we build up the human skills of the hosts. We learnt that Government patronage by building the capacity of the community to help themselves can produce amazing results. And, lastly, our faith in the spirit and the warmth of the people of the North East was strengthened.
All in all, it was an exhilarating experience we eagerly look forward to repeating. On behalf of the MTDF, and from myself, I would like to invite you readers to come enjoy our Autumn Festival, scheduled to be held on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th of November on the banks of the Umiam Lake, about half an hour short of Shillong, on your way up from Guwahati. “Paya aro pacho” and “aya patka” to the people of Ziro. God bless and stay pure. ( R.G. Lyngdoh is Chairman of Meghalaya Tourism Development Forum, Shillong and he can be reached at rglyngdoh@yahoo.co.in )
