The Subarnarekha River in Balasore district is once again flowing above the warning level, raising serious concerns of a third flood in the region this monsoon. At Rajghat, the river's water level has surpassed the warning mark of 9.45 meter and is inching closer to the danger mark set at 10.36 meter.
This marks the third time this year that the Subarnarekha has triggered flood fears. Earlier floods had already caused extensive damage in Baliaapal, Jaleswar, and Bhograi blocks of Balasore district. Hundreds of villages were submerged, and thousands of hectares of farmland were destroyed, washing away standing crops.
Though wate...
