After the havoc caused by the cyclone, heavy post- cyclone rains on Thursday has seen river water levels rising above the danger mark, placing 4 districts of Odisha – Bhadrak, Jajpur, Kendrapara and Keonjhar – on high alert.
The Prime Minister is scheduled to depart for West Bengal at 12:10 pm after an aerial survey of the cyclone-hit Balasore and Bhadrak districts in Odisha.
