Bhubaneswar: Bus services resumed in Odisha on Friday which had been stopped due to cyclone DANA. However, bus service is yet to commence in cyclone DANA effected areas.
As per reports, bus services resumed in Bhubaneswar today morning. Buses are plying to and from Baramunda Bus stand in the capital city. At least fifty percent of the total bus strength that run during normal days, are plying now in between Bhubaneswar and South Odisha’s Berhampur.
However, bus service is yet to be resumed in Bhadrak and Balasore districts. Also the same service has not resumed in Rajnagar. Also, buses are yet to ply between Odisha and Kolkata. These above places have been effected by cyclone DANA. Some places have received heavy rain and thus it has created related problems to return to normal life. In some places large trees have uprooted and thus the roads are blocked. Of course, the ODRAF, Fire Services Department, NDRF and other such organisations’ personnel are putting tough effort to clear the road at the earliest.
When it comes to position of cyclone DANA’s present position, the cyclonic storm “DANA” (pronounced as dana) moved north-northwestwards with a speed of 07 kmph and lay centred near latitude 21.3° North and longitude 86.7°East at 10 30 am of today, the 25th October, over north coastal Odisha, about 40 km northeast of Bhadrak and 60 km north-northwest of Dhamara.
The current intensity wind speed of the cyclonic storm is 70-80 kmph gusting to 90 kmph.
The IMD forecast is that the cyclone is likely to move northwestwards across north Odisha and weaken gradually into a deep depression during next 06 hours.
