Bhubaneswar: Heavy rain lashed several parts of Odisha, while a red alert for intense rainfall has been issued for three districts on Sunday as a low-pressure system formed over the Bay of Bengal in the morning, weather department officials said.
The low-pressure system over the northwest Bay of Bengal and adjoining West Bengal-north Odisha coasts on Sunday morning became well-marked within a few hours and is likely to move west-northwest across north Odisha and Gangetic West Bengal, they said.
