Heavy Rains Lash Odisha, IMD Forecasts More Downpour
Heavy rain is coming down in Odisha, and the weather forecast says it will keep raining for a few more days.
This has caused the water levels in some rivers to rise.
Officials are keeping a close eye on the situation, and they have warned people in certain areas to be prepared.
The government has told local authorities to be ready for the rain and to take action if needed.
The rain is expected to continue due to a low-pressure area forming over the Bay of Bengal.
Heavy rainfall was reported in Odisha, with IMD forecasting more downpour until August 27.
Authorities at Hirakud Dam opened sluice gates to manage the water level.
Several districts, including Sundergarh and Keonjhar, experienced heavy rainfall, leading to rising water levels in rivers.
