Landslide disrupts NH-520 in Odisha; IMD issues orange alerts in 6 districts
Keonjhar superintendent of police Nitin Kushalkar urged commuters travelling between Barbil and Rajamunda to exercise caution
A landslide on Sunday night partially blocked National Highway-520 in Odisha's Keonjhar district after heavy rain triggered by low pressure in the Bay of Bengal. The debris slid down a hill, inundating homes and roads in southern districts of Nabarangpur and Malkangiri. IMD issued orange alerts for six districts and forecast heavy rain until August 29, with another low-pressure area potentially forming, leading to more intense rainfall.
