The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issues a red warning for four districts in Odisha—Kalahandi, Nabarangpur, Koraput and Malkangiri—as a deep depression moves into the state and brings a heavy-rain threat.
IMD warnings indicate that heavy to very heavy rainfall is expected through September 26, with extremely heavy rain possible in parts of southern Odisha. The advisories highlight impacts such as flash flooding and landslides, prompting disaster-response readiness in affected areas.
While both outlets focus on the same IMD alert for the same four districts, they differ slightly in emphasis. The Hindu highlights the issuance of the red warning and the placement of disaster response forces. Mint stresses the forecast timeline and the specific hazard framing around flooding and landslides.
