In Odisha, incessant rain in most parts of northern region of the state due to depression over Bay of Bengal has raised the fear of fresh flood in Bhadrak, Keonjhar, Jajpur, Kendrapada and Balasore districts. Major rivers like Baitarani, Brahmani, Subarnarekha and Budhabalanga are rising and flowing above danger mark at many places on Thursday afternoon.The state government has asked the collectors of concerned districts to evacuate people from low lying areas as flood water could submerge many places in the northern region. Some villages in Jajpur have already been submerged by swollen Baitarani river. Districts like Bhadrak and Jajpur are facing the second spell of flood in a span of a fortnight. Teams of government officials have been rushed to these districts to check possible breaches on river embankments, while collectors have been asked to keep relief materials ready for any eventuality.According to Bhubaneswar Meterological Centre, the depression now lies about 50 km south east of Balasore. Under its impact, heavy to very heavy rain is likely to occur at most places of north and south Odisha during the next 48 hours with gusty surface wind speed raching 45 to 55 kmph to 65 kmph. Warning signal number three has been hoisted in all the ports of Odisha and fishermen have been advised not to venture into the sea as the condition will be very rough.
