Weakening Cyclone Arnab has left significant rainfall in West Bengal, Jharkhand, and Madhya Pradesh, while 300 villages in Ganjam remain isolated due to waterlogging.
The remnants of Cyclone Arnab have continued to impact several Indian states after the system weakened into a depression. Significant rainfall has been recorded in West Bengal, Jharkhand, and Madhya Pradesh, disrupting daily life and transport in affected areas.
In Odisha, the situation in the Ganjam district remains critical. Reports indicate that approximately 300 villages in the region have been marooned due to severe waterlogging and rising water levels. Local administration is working to ensure the safety of residents in these isolated areas.
Meteorological observations suggest that the system is moving away from the Andhra Pradesh coast, which was previously under threat. The focus of authorities has now shifted to managing the aftermath of the rains and providing relief to the stranded communities in Ganjam and other rain-hit zones.
