The India Meteorological Department has issued a red alert for heavy rainfall across Odisha for today, urging residents to take precautions.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) released a red warning this morning, indicating the likelihood of intense and widespread rainfall over the state of Odisha later in the day.
Meteorologists attribute the impending downpours to a deep low-pressure system moving eastward over the Bay of Bengal, which is expected to bring sustained heavy showers and possible localized flooding in coastal districts.
Authorities have advised the public to avoid non-essential travel, secure loose objects, and stay updated with further bulletins from the IMD and local disaster management agencies.
