Bhubaneswar:
After leaving a trail of destructions and keeping the state administration on its toes for over a week, the cyclone Phailin has finally left Odisha and shifted to neighbouring Jharkhand as a depression, Met office sources said.
"The Deep Depression over north Chhattisgarh and adjoining areas of Odisha and Jharkhand moved north-northeastwards and weakened into a depression. It lay centred at 0830 hours today close to southwest of Daltonganj (Jharkhand)," it said.
The Met office said that the system would move north-northeastwards and weaken gradually into a well-marked low pressure area by today evening.
However, one or two places of Odisha may experience rain and thundershower in next 24 hours. Met office also suggested for lowering the signals at all ports in Odisha. The state of Sea would be rough to very rough along and off Odisha coast, it said.
