According to the forecast, Odisha is likely to continue experiencing rainfall until September 3. The renewed spell of rain has increased concern in several districts that have only recently witnessed floodwaters recede.
With rivers and water bodies still recovering from the previous spell of flooding, fresh rainfall could once again worsen the situation in vulnerable areas. Authorities are likely to remain on alert, particularly in low-lying and flood-prone regions, as the weather system continues to influence the state.
