A flood-like situation has emerged in Banpur in Odisha's Khordha district following heavy rainfall, with floodwater entering residential areas and disrupting normal life.

In Malkangiri district, ADM Somnath Pradhan visited flood-affected areas on September 25 amid heavy rainfall and rising water levels.
The Mathili Fire Service Team also rescued a family stranded in floodwater after the water level of the Saberi River at Nadiguda village rose following heavy rainfall.
In Puri, the district administration has alerted tourists by hoisting red flags and imposed a ban on sea bathing amid turbulent sea conditions. Lifeguards have been deployed across various sectors along the beach to prevent tourists from entering the water.
Assistant Station Officer Ananta Prasad Biswal said Puri has been designated a "red zone" due to the prevailing weather conditions and warned that the situation could deteriorate over the next two days.
"Given the current situation, specifically the deep depression, Puri has been designated a âred zone', a status expected to remain in effect for the next two days," Biswal told ANI.
"We have deployed 98 lifeguards from the Odisha Fire Service to raise awareness. The situation in Puri is dangerous today and is expected to worsen tomorrow; a deep depression has already formed, causing the sea to become extremely turbulent with high waves. Anything could happen at any moment," he said.
Biswal said red flags had been hoisted and lifeguards were using loudspeakers to warn tourists. ATV bikes and megaphones have also been deployed, while the district administration has officially prohibited sea bathing.
"I urge tourists not to enter the water for the next two days," he said.
