A low-pressure system has brought heavy rainfall to Odisha, prompting weather alerts across the state.
A low-pressure system settled over the eastern coast of India on Tuesday, delivering widespread heavy rain across Odisha. Meteorological officials reported that the system is expected to persist for the next 48 hours, bringing intermittent downpours and gusty winds in several districts. The India Meteorological Department has issued a weather advisory, urging residents to stay alert and avoid unnecessary travel during the peak periods of rainfall.
Local authorities have begun pre‑emptive measures, including clearing drainage channels and positioning emergency response teams in vulnerable areas. While no major flooding has been reported yet, the heavy rain has already caused waterlogging in low‑lying parts of Bhubaneswar and surrounding towns.
Residents are advised to monitor updates from official sources and take precautions such as securing loose objects, avoiding flood‑prone routes, and staying away from riverbanks. The weather department will continue to provide regular bulletins as the system evolves.
