Odisha's southern districts witnessed light rainfall as severe cyclonic storm Murasu made landfall on the neighbouring Andhra Pradesh coast early on Tuesday, even as the state government asked all collectors in the region to remain prepared to handle any adverse weather conditions, a minister said.

While briefing about the cyclonic condition, Odisha's Disaster Management Minister Suresh Pujari said that district collectors of Koraput, Malkangiri, Kandhamal, Kalahandi and several others have reported light rainfall.
