The Mahanadi River’s Mundali Barrage is expected to reach a peak flow of 8 lakh cusecs tonight, according to an official alert issued by the state water resources department. The warning comes as heavy monsoon rains continue to feed the river, raising concerns about flooding in downstream districts.

Residents and local authorities are urged to monitor updates closely and follow any evacuation orders that may be issued.
