Bhubaneswar: The regional meteorological centre of India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Tuesday issued an alert stating that rain and thunderstorm are likely to occur at few places in Odisha, owing to a depression over the Bay.
According to IMD bulletin, the depression over North-East and East-Central Bay of Bengal is likely to intensify into a deep depression. Under its impact, squally wind speed reaching 40-50 kmph is likely along Odisha coast in the next 24 hours.
