However, he said that even as the cyclone moves along and off the Odisha coast, some districts are likely to come under its spell resulting in moderate rainfall in a few southern and coastal districts. He informed that though about 42 blocks of the state received cyclone induced rainfall ranging from 20 to 50 millimetres during the last 24 hours, no case of inundation has been reported from any part of the state.
