Several parts of Odisha received light to moderate rainfall on Saturday as cyclone dana gradually weakened into a well-marked low pressure within the state, according to IMD.
The IMD in its last bulletin said: “The depression (remnant of severe cyclonic storm DANA) over north Odisha moved slightly westwards during the past 6 hours and weakened into a well-marked low-pressure area over the same region. It is likely to weaken further and become insignificant during the next 12 hours.”
Under its influence many places witnessed rain and inclement weather which affected restoration work in the cyclone-affected areas in Bhadrak, Kendrapara and Balasore districts, an official said.
