The Bhargavi River in Odisha has seen a decline in water levels as officials monitor the post‑monsoon flood situation. A state minister has visited the affected areas to assess progress and plan further relief measures.
After the heavy monsoon rains, the Bhargavi River had reached dangerous levels, prompting widespread evacuations across Odisha.
Recent measurements show a steady drop in the river’s water level, indicating that the immediate flood threat is easing.
In response, a senior state minister toured the flood‑affected districts to inspect the situation on the ground, meet relief workers, and confirm that evacuation shelters are functioning properly.
While the river’s levels have receded, authorities warn that residual water could still pose risks, especially in low‑lying villages, and continue to monitor the situation closely.
