The Odisha government has put 11 districts on high alert for heavy to very heavy rain expected from a low-pressure system. The India Meteorological Department predicts the system will move west-northwestwards and arrive near the north Andhra Pradesh and South Odisha coasts on September 23, 2026. Strong winds with speeds reaching 45-55 kmph are likely along the coast. Chief Secretary Anu Garg chaired a disaster preparedness meeting and directed collectors to monitor the situation closely. The Kalinga Ghati road has been closed due to the threat of landslides.
Why it matters
Residents in the affected districts should prepare for potential flooding and strong winds. The closure of Kalinga Ghati road may disrupt travel and supply chains in the region.
