Odisha largely free from caste, religion resonance in electoral politics
Caste calculation, religious affiliation has never emerged as a tool to woo voters.
Even as rains continued in parts of Odisha due to the presence of a trough line stretching along the entire eastern coast, a low-pressure area was taking shape over the Bay of Bengal which could lead to more precipitation next week, according to SOA’s Centre for Environment and Climate (CEC) here.
The trough line was continuing from the Tamil Nadu coast up to West Bengal and it was gradually shifting to interior Odisha which would cause a decrease in rainfall from Sunday with isolated rains expected in the southern districts of the state, CEC bulletin said.
However, a low pressure took shape over Thailand and adjoining the south Bay of Bengal today and it could develop into a depression over the east-central Bay of Bengal on November 15.
