The heavy rainfall poses significant risks, particularly in low-lying and flood-prone areas of Odisha. With some regions potentially receiving over 20 cm of rain, there is a heightened risk of waterlogging, localised flooding, and disruptions to transportation and daily activities. The situation is especially concerning for areas where floodwaters have only recently receded, as rivers and water bodies are still recovering. Authorities are on high alert to manage potential emergencies and mitigate risks in vulnerable regions.
