The continuous rain disrupted normal life across Nuapada, Kalahandi, Nawarangpur, Baragarh, Koraput, and Bolangir districts. Water levels in local rivers and streams increased significantly. The heavy water flow caused waterlogging in low-lying areas. Many roads went under water. This situation affected transportation and daily travel for local people. The high rainfall in places like Golamunda raised concerns about excess water accumulation.
The local administration took immediate action. Officials advised people living near rivers and waterlogged areas to stay alert. The government kept rescue and relief teams ready to help the public. Disaster management teams remain prepared for any situation. The weather department expects the rain to continue in some areas for a few more hours.
