Continuous heavy rainfall following Cyclone Arnab has caused severe flooding and landslides in three districts of Odisha, resulting in three deaths.
The aftermath of Cyclone Arnab has led to significant loss of life and infrastructure damage in Odisha. Authorities reported that three people have died due to the continuous heavy rainfall that lashed the state.
The persistent downpours triggered a sharp rise in water levels across major rivers in three affected districts. This surge in water levels exacerbated the flooding situation, forcing residents to evacuate their homes.
In addition to the floods, the region witnessed nearly a dozen landslides. These geological incidents were directly linked to the saturation of the soil caused by the unceasing rain, further complicating rescue and relief operations.
Local administration teams are currently working to assess the full extent of the damage and provide aid to the affected communities in the hardest-hit areas.
