Cyclone Amphan caused havoc in the coastal districts of Odisha as it triggered heavy rainfall, coupled with high-velocity winds while moving towards the West Bengal on Wednesday. Hundreds of trees were uprooted and electric and telecom infrastructure damaged.

The government has received reports of two deaths from Bhadrak and Kendrapara districts due to the cyclone. "We have received reports of a child's death at Tihidi in the Bhadrak district. The district collector has sent a team, comprising tehsildar, medical and police officers. The exact cause will be ascertained after autopsy," said special relief commissioner (SRC) Pradeep Jena.
