On Thursday, heavy rain disrupted life in Puri, Khurda, Jagatsinghpur, Cuttack and Dhenkanal. All schools in Puri district were shut and tourists faced severe inconvenience due to waterlogging at Sun Temple, Konark. Incessant rains for over three days triggered by a low-pressure system over the Bay of Bengal submerged several area in Kendrapara district.
