More than 5,000 people have been moved to cyclone shelters in Odisha’s Gajapati district as heavy rain continues. The evacuation was carried out as a safety measure due to the risk of landslides. The district has prepared 264 cyclone shelters and is providing dry rations and cooked food. The India Meteorological Department said the deep depression is likely to enter Odisha near Koraput on Thursday afternoon or evening. Heavy rain is expected to continue for two more days. Strong winds and high waves also caused trouble in Chilika Lake. More than 10 fishing boats sank due to rough weather.
