Following Cyclone Arnab, severe flooding affected Aska and Sheragada in Ganjam district. Floodwater, which stood 10 to 15 ft high in Aska, rushed into market outlets after heavy rain on the night of October 28. Traders are now selling commodities like clothes and foodgrains that were damaged by water and mud at significantly reduced prices. Rabi Patra, who owns a general store in Binayak bazaar, Aska, reported that the flood wiped out his business stock.
