The formation of three consecutive low pressure areas in the Bay of Bengal has resulted in heavy downpour in the coastal state. The floods have not only disrupted transport and connectivity across the Mahanadi river basin but also posed serious worries for the farmers who are staring at losses. Also, there is little hope of respite for the affected population as there is forecast for further rainfall tomorrow.

मूंगफली के छिलकों को अब कचरा नहीं, जल शुद्धिकरण का सस्ता और टिकाऊ समाधान माना जा रहा है। वैज्ञानिकों ने एक नई तकनीक विकसित की है जिसमें इन छिलकों से बायोफिल्टर तैयार कर गंदे पानी से भारी धातुएँ, विषैले तत्व और रोगाणु हटाए जा सकते हैं। भारत जैसे कृषि प्रधान देश के लिए यह नवाचार पर्यावरण संरक्षण के साथ-साथ ग्रामीण आजीविका के नए रास्ते भी खोल सकता है।
