Nilam effect: Rains likely at a few places


BHUBANESWAR: Rains or thunder showers might occur at several places in the State during next 24 hours from Tuesday as a deep depression over southwest Bay of Bengal moved westwards and intensified into cyclonic storm Nilam about 1,175 km south-west off Gopalpur coast, informed the local Met Department.

According to the Met officials, the depression lay centred at 8.30 am on Tuesday which would move northwestwards and cross north Tamil Nadu and adjoining south Andhra Pradesh coast between Nagapattinam and Nellore by Wednesday afternoon or evening.

On the other hand, Special Relief Commissioner of the State Pradipta Kumar Mohapatra said that there is no fear from the side of the cyclonic storm ‘Nilam’ towards the State. “It will not affect our State, so people should not worry about the storm,” said Mohapatra.
