Odisha Woman Rescued After Floating 12 Hours in Flooded Brahmani River
A 75-78-year-old woman, Kasi/Keshi Dalai, was swept away by the swollen Brahmani River in Odisha's Jajpur district late Saturday. After floating for about 12 hours and drifting nearly 25 km downstream, she was rescued by two fishermen near Balipatna village in Kendrapara district. Despite exhaustion and swallowing water, her condition stabilized after hospital treatment. The rescue drew praise for the fishermen's prompt action amid floodwaters with crocodiles. Heavy rains have caused flooding across 13 districts, prompting evacuations and aerial surveys by officials.
