PROFILE OF PUDUKKOTTAI DISTRICT 1. INTRODUCTION Pudukkottai has a familiar Historical background and it was formerly a Princely State with the title of “SAMASTHANAM” ruled by the “H.H.The Rajah’s of THONDAIMANS” . The present Pudukkottai district is encompassing the entire Princely State of Pudukkottai and parts of Tiruchirappalli and Thanjavur districts. Pudukkottai district came into existence on 14.1.1974. The erstwhile “Pudukkottai State” has been justly famous for its efficient and stable administration through the years with its seasoned administrative system, operating with well understood concepts of hierarchy line of command and discreet adherences to principles and procedures. Really this credit goes to the initial author and as well as the founder of the system of “District Office Manual”, by “Sir Alexander Loftus Tottenham”, the Agent of the British Emperor/ Administrator of erstwhile “Pudukkottai State” for his aim of trim and efficient administration. Pudukkotai District is bounded on the North East and East by Thanjavur District, on the South East by Bay of Bengal, on the South West by Ramanathapuram and Sivaganga districts and on the West and North East by Thiruchirapalli District. 1 2. DISASTER MANAGEMENT PERSPECTIVE PLAN The main objective of Disaster Management Plan is to assess the vulnerability of district to various major hazards so that mitigate steps can be taken to contain the damages before and during disaster and to provide relief and take reconstruction measures at the shortest possible time effectively. The District Disaster Management Perspective Plan is also a purposeful document that assigns responsibility to the officials of Government Departments, Social Organisations and Individuals for carrying out specific and effective actions at projected times and places in an emergency manner that exceeds the capability or routine responsibility of 2 an one agency, e.g the departments of Revenue, Police, Fire Services, Fisheries, Highways, PWD, South Vellar Division and Health etc. Pudukkottai District has 42.8 km. Of long coastal belt and there is a likely dense population, particularly fishermen community in these coastal areas. Our main task is to protect the people living in coastal areas and other places vulnerable due to flood/cyclone and disaster. Further the cattle and other domestic animals have to be protected from the havoc. Apart from this work, the protection of major, medium and minor irrigation tanks also deserves lot of efforts from the departments such as Public Works Department, Rural Development, Revenue, Police and Fire Service. The action plan requires well planned, co-ordinated efforts to avert flood damage. There are small rivers namely Vellar, Agniar, Pambar, Ambuliyar and Gundar in the district, which may also get flooded and may play havoc in the event of heavy rain. Field level inspections are highly necessary by departments such as Revenue, Public Works Department, Panchayat Union, Highways to take preliminary action to prevent breaches of tanks, erosion of roads, falling of trees, crashing down of walls etc., particularly in the low lying areas where floods normally occur. In Pudukkottai District, we have about 7130 tanks where continuous monitoring is necessary during both monsoon period and whenever there are heavy rains. Based on the earlier contingency and disaster management plans, a new plan has been drawn to meet the current needs of preparedness and to meet the current disaster if any occurs suddenly in Pudukkottai District. 3 3. BUDGET Since the district, has 42.8 KM of long Coastal LineLine anandandd that there is a likely dense population particularly fishermen commucommunitynity in these coastal areas causing Flood/Cyclone on Disaster, a Jeep is highly necessary to face consequences and to manage the situation for this ddistriistrict.ct. With regard to Budget and other financial allocationallocation,, regular contingency and the Disaster Management Fund may be sanctioned every year to this distr ict for availing both Natural and Manmade Disaster. 3(a).
