The India Meteorological Department issued an early‑morning bulletin stating that the tropical cyclone named Arnab, currently tracking in the Bay of Bengal, is set to affect the eastern state of Odisha with widespread heavy rainfall today.
Meteorologists forecast intense showers across both coastal districts and inland areas, with the risk of localized flooding and strong gusts. Residents in vulnerable zones have been urged to stay alert and avoid low‑lying areas.
State disaster management authorities have activated emergency response teams and are closely monitoring river levels. Relief shelters have been prepared in flood‑prone districts, and officials have asked the public to follow safety instructions issued by local administration.
