Heavy Rain Causes Flooding and Evacuations in Six Odisha Districts
Heavy rainfall over two days has caused fresh flooding in six northern Odisha districts, including Balasore, Mayurbhanj, Bhadrak, Jajpur, Sundargarh, and Keonjhar. Rising river levels, notably in the Budhabalanga, Jalaka, Baitarani, and Subarnarekha rivers, have inundated villages, farmland, roads, and bridges, disrupting transport and prompting evacuations. Authorities have relocated over 41,000 people to relief centers, deployed multiple rescue teams, and opened relief camps providing essentials. The situation remains critical with ongoing rain forecasts and continued monitoring by officials.
