At least four people are missing or were trapped in separate flood-related incidents across Odisha on Friday. In Mayurbhanj, two people were trapped inside a car for nearly two hours after a strong current swept the vehicle away in Naharapada village. Villagers later rescued them. In Balasore, two tribal women went missing after being swept away by floodwaters near the Samantahati Bridge. Fire Services and an ODRAF team have launched a search.
In Cuttack's Narasinghpur, a man identified as Saroj Nayak went missing after falling from the Sidhamula Bridge while taking photographs with his family. In Nabarangpur, a woman fell into the swollen Indravati River while taking a selfie. Her search was suspended after dark and is expected to resume. The incidents come as heavy rain and rising water levels continue to affect several districts.
