Balasore: Incessant rain here has resulted in the rise of water level in the Jalaka river. The water is reportedly flowing above the danger mark.

The floodwater is flowing over the danger mark of 5.5 metres near Mathani under Basta block and has touched 6.6 metres on Thursday morning. Following this, panic triggered among locals fearing a flash flood situation in the low-lying area close to the river.

Locals claimed that if the water level continues to rise in the days ahead then farmlands in close vicinity of the Jalaka river might get waterlogged.
