Tree debris on roads, traffic disrupted at three sites
While the entire coastal and southern region of the State experienced moderate to heavy rainfall since Sunday early morning under the impact of the cyclone Hudhud, the State capital of Bhubaneswar also witnessed rains accompanied with wind, forcing denizens to stay indoors.
Busy stretches in the city wore a deserted look while shops in major locations were closed throughout the day. Few auto rickshaws, buses and other vehicles were plying.
Though there were no reports of any large scale damage during the day in the city, but traffic was disrupted at three locations, such as near BJP State party office, Budheswari colony and near Nalinidevi BEd College in Kharabelanagar area, as tree branches fell on roads stopping vehicular movements for sometimes. Following information, the Fire Service personnel rushed to the spots and cleared the roads.
