floodwaters on the outskirts of Sangli. * AFP Alok Deshpande Mumbai Despite indications of the Koyna, Warna and Radhanagri dams getting full in the last week of July, the administration did not release water, according to a report published by the South Asia Network on Dams, Rivers and People (SANDRP) on the floods in Kolhapur and Sangli districts in western Maharashtra. An analysis based on the dam storage graphs from the Central Water Commis sion (CWC) shows that the three dams were almost 100% full by August 5. “But why were the dams full by August 5, 2019? Why did the dams not start releasing wa ter from say July 25, 2019, when Koyna and Warna dams were only around 50% full? The Radhanagri dam should have started releasing water even earlier as that dam was already close to 80% full by July 25. If these dams had started releas ing water from July 25, 2019, they would have had sufficient space during the first week of August 2019, when the districts received heavy rainfall and that would have helped reduce the floods rather than increase it, as the dams ended up doing,” said the report, authored by Himanshu Thakkar and Parineeta Dandekar. Human error is one of the reasons for the lapse, said Ms. Dandekar. “After the floods in 2005, a coordination committee was set up between Maharashtra and Kar nataka. What is the status of the commit tee’s report?” she said. There has been abovenormal rainfall in the Upper Krishna Basin in Maharash tra, which mainly includes the districts of Kolhapur, Sangli and Satara.

Jyoti Shelar pieces together their story as the State administration carries out an investigation

t 34, Sangeeta Kale from Maha rashtra’s Beed district is a mother Aof two collegegoing sons, aged 19 and 17. Married off to a sugarcane cut ter at the age of 13 even before she had hit puberty, Kale had little inkling of the hard life ahead. Kale, who had her first child when she was just 16 , worked through her pregnancy with husband Sadashiv in the fields of western Maha rashtra, sometimes spending up to 16 hours cutting and loading the cane crop into trucks during the harvesting months — October to March. Her life re mained the same after her first and se cond deliveries and subsequent years. However, she found the routine back breaking work daunting on days her menstrual cycle set in, as the fields had no toilets. She couldn’t take leave for fear of being heavily penalised . Finally, fed up with these troubles and other re current gynaecological issues ranging from white discharge to pain, Kale un derwent hysterectomy — uterusremo val surgery — last July. Just like Kale, many women, some of whom are just in their 20s, in Beed have undergone this lifealtering procedure, which is otherwise prescribed only for a handful of medical conditions and often performed as a last resort. What is even more shocking is that Kale was the seventh woman in her ex tended family, living in Beed’s Umrad Ja hagir village, to have undergone the op eration. “Frustrated with period pain, white discharges and foul smell, when I approached a doctor, I was told my ute rus was damaged and hysterectomy was the way out,” says Kale. The droughtstricken Beed district in Maharashtra’s Marathwada region came under the scanner this May after reports came to light about the unusually high Sarika Chandrasen Kurlekar, 32, among the 56 women in Vanjarwadi village who have undergone hysterectomy. * ARUNANGSU ROY CHOWDHURY rate of hysterectomies among its wo men, especially among those who mi government’s Swachh Bharat scheme pursue them to return the remaining <> Early marriages and child naecologist Madhav Sanap, who has run grate to neighbouring districts to work but their members still defecate in the money,” says Bappa Kotwade, 42, a mu- birth, fear of cancer and the the Shree Bhagwan Hospital since 1998, as sugarcane cutters. open due to lack of water.
