Cuttack city BJP president Lalatendu Badu said all shops, markets and vehicles were closed on Monday in view of the sentiments of the people. Ambulances and all other emergency services continue. “Everyone is asking for permission to increase the height of the statue and to visit the mother,” he said.
The city of Cuttack has been inundated by torrential rains. Most parts of Cuttack are now flooded due to two days of heavy rains. At Badambadi, a major part of the city, heavy rains have led to water logging and thus traffic jams, across the city. In other parts of the city, homes are flooded. As a result, traffic was light at this time of night.
