Floodwaters in Odisha remain stagnant, leaving residents stranded and normal activities disrupted.
Floodwaters in Odisha's coastal districts have failed to recede, leaving large swaths of land submerged and roads impassable.
Local authorities report that drainage systems are clogged, and pumps are operating at full capacity yet still unable to clear the water.
Residents in affected villages are stranded, unable to reach schools or markets, and many have had to rely on temporary shelters.
The Odisha government has dispatched additional water‑pumping units and is coordinating with the National Disaster Response Force to expedite relief.
Despite ongoing efforts, the stagnant water poses health risks and threatens to worsen the situation if monsoon rains continue.
