Heavy downpour has caused severe waterlogging in the northeastern city, which has an intricate network of rivers and beels (wetlands) that form its natural drainage system. But encroachment on water bodies has increased the incidence of urban flooding.

Gharial is a long beaked crocodilian living exclusively on fish. It is found in the Himalayan fed river systems with its southernmost distribution in the river Mahanadi and its tributaries. It is not a danger to human beings but salt-water crocodiles are man eaters and many gullible persons wrongly equate gharials with salt-water crocodiles as a result of which, the lives of the gharials are now in danger.
