Flood scare: Major rivers flow above danger mark in state

Bhubaneswar: Flood threat loomed large as major rivers in the state continued to flow above the danger mark at several places.
The Baitarini river was flowing at 39.120 metres as against the red mark of 38.360 metres at Anandpur in Keonjhar district.
