What happened
A weather system over the Bay of Bengal intensified into a well-marked low-pressure area, with forecasts projecting it could escalate into a cyclonic storm by Monday morning. The system is expected to approach north Andhra Pradesh and south Odisha by October 28 morning, bringing heavy rainfall to areas like Ganjam district in Odisha, which has been placed under a red alert. Disaster forces, including nine ODRAF and two NDRF teams, have been stationed in Ganjam to prepare for potential flooding.
