Arnab weakens: 5 dead in Andhra, 2,000 marooned in Odisha

The storm has become a depression, but swollen rivers are cutting off villages and halting trains, and a fresh low-pressure area is forming in the Bay of Bengal.

Cyclone Arnab killed five people in Andhra Pradesh and has weakened into a depression over south Chhattisgarh and Odisha.

About 2,000 people are cut off by floodwater in Odisha's Ganjam district, where the State plans to airlift villagers.

The IMD says a new low-pressure area may become a depression by October 31 and could affect Andhra Pradesh.
