After witnessing rain fury for nearly a fortnight, Odisha is likely to receive more showers during the next four days with a low-pressure area formed over the Bay of Bengal concentrating into a depression, the IMD said in a bulletin on Friday. The depression was nearly 670 km east-southeast of Gopalpur in Odisha and 740 km east of Kalingapatnam in Andhra Pradesh at 5.30 pm on Friday, the IMD said in its latest bulletin. The Special Relief Commissioner (SRC) issued an advisory asking officials to remain prepared to tackle any localised flood-like situation or the possibility of landslides in hilly areas, while also ensuring that the control room stays operational round the clock.
