Bhubaneswar: The people of Odisha heaved a sigh of relief as the depression, which lay centred about 70 km south of Keonjhar in early on Friday morning, weakened into a well-marked low-pressure and drifted to the Gangetic West Bengal after moving in the east-north-east direction.
A release by the India Meteorological Department (IMD) at 10 am said that except sporadic rainfall at a few places in the north and coastal districts, there will be no heavy rains in the state.
