A fresh low-pressure area has developed over the Bay of Bengal, prompting the India Meteorological Department to forecast further rainfall across Odisha in the coming days.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) reported the formation of a new low-pressure system over the Bay of Bengal. The system is expected to move westward, bringing additional moisture to the eastern coastal state of Odisha. Meteorologists have warned that the region could experience moderate to heavy showers over the next 48 hours, with the potential for localized flooding in low‑lying areas.
Residents in coastal districts such as Puri, Cuttack and Bhadrak have been advised to stay alert and take precautionary measures. Local authorities are monitoring river levels and have readied emergency response teams should the rains intensify.
The IMD will continue to issue updates as the system evolves, urging the public to follow official advisories and avoid unnecessary travel during periods of heavy rain.
