Deep depression causes flooding and landslides in south Odisha, thousands moved
Heavy rain from a deep depression over the Bay of Bengal flooded parts of south Odisha, damaged houses, disrupted transport and triggered landslides. Officials deployed 33 ODRAF teams, shifted more than 5,000 people to safer places and issued red warnings amid forecasts of more heavy rain.
The deep depression over the Bay of Bengal battered south Odisha on Wednesday, inundating low-lying areas, disrupting transport links, damaging houses and triggering landslides. The system was moving toward Kalingapatnam, between Visakhapatnam and Gopalpur, ahead of landfall. More heavy to extremely heavy rainfall was forecast until Thursday. The state government deployed 33 ODRAF teams and put district administrations on high alert. More than 5,000 people were shifted to safer places in parts of Gajapati and Ganjam districts. The India Meteorological Department said the system was centred around 30 km south-southwest of Kalingapatnam and around 160 km southwest of Gopalpur on Wednesday evening, and was moving west-northwestwards.
