Heavy rains in capital causes flooding in Badagada houses
The New Indian Express Bhubaneswar
|July 04, 2025
AN intense spell of rain on Tuesday evening inundated several houses in the Badagada area of Bhubaneswar, prompting the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) to dredge embankments of the Badagada canal to facilitate drainage of stormwater from the low-lying region.
The emergency operation disrupted traffic along the stretch and exposed glaring gaps in the BMC's monsoon preparedness, an issue that had drawn Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi's attention just a month ago.
Following the downpour, around 10 to 15 residents remained stranded in their homes as floodwaters transformed parts of the Badagada canal road into a swamp. The local market was also submerged under knee-deep water after the stormwater drains failed to function due to blockages.
