3 killed in ‘lightning strikes' in state
Bhubaneswar: Three persons were killed in suspected lightning strikes in three different places on Sunday, even as the IMD predicted that the southwest monsoon is set to revive within the next 24 hours after a prolonged dry spell of 17 days. The revival is being aided by a cyclonic circulation active over the northwest Bay of Bengal and adjoining areas, creating favourable conditions for monsoon's further advancement across the state. Sources at the Regional Meteorological Centre here said that light to moderate rain or thundershowers are expected at many places across the state from Sunday. "The cyclonic circulation, coupled with a trough extending from East Madhya Pradesh to Bangladesh, is expected to trigger significant rainfall activity over Odisha," an RMC official said. IMD issued an orange warning of heavy to very heavy rainfall in Sundargarh, Keonjhar, Jharsuguda, Bargarh, Mayurbhanj and Balasore districts on Monday and Tuesday. Yellow warning of heavy rainfall is in place for several other districts, including Sambalpur, Angul, Koraput, Nuapada and Gajapati, for the next two days.
