A deep depression is advancing towards Odisha, prompting the state administration to prepare for heavy to very heavy rainfall across multiple districts.
A deep depression has formed over the region and is steadily moving towards Odisha, raising concerns of intense weather activity along the coast and interior areas. The system is expected to trigger heavy to very heavy rainfall across several parts of the state in the coming hours.
Authorities have alerted district administrations to remain on standby and monitor the situation closely. Emergency response teams are being positioned in vulnerable zones to handle potential waterlogging, disruption of normal life, and other rain-related challenges.
Residents in low-lying and coastal areas have been advised to stay updated with official weather bulletins and follow safety guidelines issued by the state disaster management authorities. The India Meteorological Department is continuously tracking the depression's path and intensity.
With the deep depression advancing, the Odisha government is prioritising public safety and coordination between agencies to minimise any adverse impact. Fishermen and coastal communities have also been urged to exercise caution during this period.
