Bhubaneswar: The Odisha government on Friday sounded a high alert in Kandhamal district, where heavy rainfall has led to widespread waterlogging, inundating roads and bridges, and disrupting normal life.
Heavy rainfall has brought Kandhamal district to a standstill, with roads and bridges submerged underwater, prompting the Special Relief Commissioner to issue a high alert. The Special Relief Commissioner spoke and instructed to Kandhamal Collector to remain alert and keep a close watch on the situation since some roads and bridges are overtopping due to rain.
