Deep Depression Crosses Coast Near Kalingapatnam, Heavy Rain Batters Southern Odisha

Bhubaneswar, Sept. 24 (UDN): A deep depression over the Bay of Bengal crossed the coast near Kalingapatnam, between Visakhapatnam and Gopalpur, late Wednesday night, triggering heavy rainfall and gusty winds across parts of southern Odisha.

The system made landfall at around 11:30 pm, approximately 30 km southwest of Kalingapatnam. The landfall process continued for nearly three hours, accompanied by winds reaching 55–65 kmph.

Although the system has moved inland, its influence is expected to persist over Odisha and neighbouring areas for several hours, bringing further spells of heavy rain and strong winds.

System to Move Northwestwards

The weather system is expected to move northwestwards for about eight hours while maintaining its intensity. It may subsequently take a north-northwestward track and gradually weaken, according to the latest weather assessment.

Several coastal and adjoining districts of Odisha have been experiencing heavy rainfall under the influence of the system. Gusty winds have also been reported in affected areas, while sea conditions remain rough along parts of the coast.

Waterlogging Reported in Low-Lying Areas

Persistent rainfall has led to waterlogging in several low-lying locations, with authorities closely monitoring vulnerable areas.

The combination of heavy rain and strong winds could affect normal movement and local infrastructure in some areas. Residents in vulnerable locations have been advised to remain alert and follow instructions issued by local authorities.

Fishermen Advised to Stay Ashore

With the sea continuing to remain rough, fishermen have been advised against venturing into the sea until weather and marine conditions improve.

Authorities are maintaining close surveillance of the situation as the system moves further inland and gradually loses strength. People in affected districts have been urged to keep track of official weather bulletins and local advisories.

Further rainfall activity is likely over parts of southern and coastal Odisha as the remnants of the system continue to influence the region.

Deep Depression Makes Landfall Near Kalingapatnam, Heavy Rain Continues Across Odisha

Bhubaneswar, Sept. 24 (UDN): Heavy to very heavy rainfall continued across several parts of Odisha on Thursday morning as the deep depression over the Bay of Bengal moved inland after making landfall near Kalingapatnam late Wednesday night.

The weather system brought widespread rain to southern and coastal parts of the state, with several areas experiencing intense spells since the early hours of Thursday.

Following the landfall, the system is expected to gradually weaken as it moves further inland. However, its associated weather conditions continue to influence rainfall activity over Odisha, prompting authorities and residents to remain alert.

Several districts have witnessed persistent downpours, raising the possibility of waterlogging and disruption to normal life in vulnerable areas. Commuters have also been advised to exercise caution, particularly in areas experiencing intense rainfall.

Rainfall Activity to Continue

The deep depression has intensified rainfall activity over Odisha, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) monitoring its movement and its impact on the state.

Weather conditions are likely to remain unsettled in several districts through Thursday, with periods of heavy rain expected in areas under the influence of the system.

Authorities in affected districts are keeping a close watch on the situation, particularly in low-lying areas and locations vulnerable to flooding or waterlogging.

Residents have been advised to follow official weather alerts and avoid unnecessary travel during periods of intense rainfall.

The latest weather system comes as Odisha remains under the influence of an active monsoon pattern, with the deep depression adding to rainfall activity across the state.

Bhubaneswar, Sept. 24 (UDN): Odisha has cleared a major set of industrial investment proposals worth Rs 2,47,115.70 crore, with the projects expected to create 50,162 employment opportunities across the state.

 Pic Credit: x.com/IPR_Odisha

The proposals were approved at the 46th meeting of the High-Level Clearance Authority (HLCA), chaired by Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi, on Wednesday.

The 27 projects will come up across 15 districts, covering sectors ranging from data centres, artificial intelligence and renewable energy to steel, semiconductors, green hydrogen, healthcare, textiles, chemicals, shipbuilding and advanced manufacturing.

Data Centres, AI Drive Major Share of Investment

A significant portion of the proposed investment is concentrated in Odisha’s emerging digital and technology ecosystem. Four projects in the IT, ITES and Data Centre segment together represent an investment of about Rs 1.43 lakh crore.

Among the key proposals is an integrated data centre by High Density Datacentre Limited in Khordha, involving an investment of Rs 1,04,550 crore and potential employment generation of around 1,000.

HCL Technologies Limited has received clearance to establish an AI-optimised data centre in Khordha with an investment of Rs 14,257 crore. The project is expected to provide employment opportunities to around 385 people.

In Puri, Sentraforge AI Ltd will establish an AI data centre along with a Global Capability Centre. The project entails an investment of Rs 22,634 crore and has the potential to generate around 2,320 jobs.

Another data centre project, proposed by RKD Construction Private Limited in Cuttack, has been cleared with an investment of Rs 1,500 crore and potential employment generation of 220.

The approvals are expected to strengthen Odisha’s digital infrastructure, while supporting the growth of data centres, artificial intelligence, Global Capability Centres and technology-enabled services in the state.

Renewable Energy Projects Also Get Clearance

The HLCA also approved four projects in the power and renewable energy sector, together involving an investment of Rs 54,287.70 crore and potential employment generation of approximately 5,300.

With investments spread across 15 districts, the latest clearances are expected to support industrial expansion beyond Odisha’s major urban and industrial centres and create new opportunities across multiple sectors.

The latest round of approvals underscores the state’s focus on attracting large-scale investments in both traditional industries and emerging sectors such as AI, clean energy, advanced manufacturing and green technologies.

Xinhua Silk Road: From temple visit to island getaway: Fujian’s Meizhou Island expands tourism appeal

BEIJING, Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Meizhou Island, located in Putian City in southeast China’s Fujian Province, is renowned as the hometown of the Chinese sea goddess Mazu.

In recent years, the island has been tapping its tourism resources and developing distinctive Mazu culture-themed tourism activities, offering visitors a wider range of experiences and giving them more reasons to stay longer on the island rather than leave after half-day temple visit.

Born as Lin Mo on the island in 960, Mazu is believed to be a legendary woman who was deified as a protector of seafarers. Mazu has more than 300 million followers worldwide. In 2009, “Mazu belief and customs” was inscribed on the UNESCO representative list of the intangible cultural heritage of humanity.

“In previous years, visitors mainly came to Meizhou Island to worship Mazu. Many would arrive in the morning and leave in the afternoon,” said a staff member of the island’s administrative committee. “Now, more visitors are treating the island as a vacation destination, with a notable increase in family travelers, self-driving tourists and young visitors.”

Meizhou Island received about 3.23 million tourist visits in 2025, surpassing the 3-million mark for the first time. With the popularity of slow tourism, more visitors are no longer simply coming to “pay their respects” before leaving, but are choosing to stay for several days, taking leisurely walks, enjoying the sea views and embracing the relaxed pace of island life.

Popular experiences on the island include dressing in traditional attire and taking photos in front of distinctive local architecture. Visitors can also experience “a day in the life of Mazu” at her former residence in the Mazu Heritage Park, and visit the Mazu cultural museum, and the Ping’an Pagoda.

Moreover, large Mazu-themed live performances and fireworks after sunset can definitely light up visitors’ night life on the island.

From “paying respects and leaving” to lingering for the scenery, and from a half-day trip to “living a day in Mazu’s world,” Meizhou Island is transforming the appeal of a single temple into the allure of an island where visitors want to stay.

Casio to Release Limited-Edition Timepiece Celebrating MR-G 30th Anniversary.

Latticework Dial Finished in Platinum Leaf, with Structural Color Technology Employed to Create Metal Leaf-Inspired Textures for Bezel and Bracelet

TOKYO, Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Casio Computer Co., Ltd. announced today the release of a new MR-G timepiece, adding to the flagship line of the G-SHOCK brand of shock-resistant watches. The new MRG-B2100HR, featuring a dimensional latticework dial inspired by kigumi^*1 and finished in platinum leaf, is available in a limited edition of only 800 pieces worldwide.

To commemorate the 30 years since the debut of MR-G in 1996, Casio drew from metal leaf, embodying tradition and innovation. The design expresses a strength that transcends time through the theme of haruka (eternity). Metal leaf artist Hiroto Rakusho created an original artwork, which together with the timepiece design brings the world of haruka to life.

Built on the shock-resistant MRG-B2100 with its octagonal bezel, the new MRG-B2100HR features a dimensional latticework dial. Each timepiece is adorned with platinum leaf applied by Rakusho. Powdered platinum leaf creates depth and gives each timepiece distinct character.

The bezel and bracelet evoke Rakusho’s artwork, with metal leaf-inspired textures rendered using structural color technology. ^*2 Precision laser processing produces colors that change with the viewing angle. The design brings together traditional techniques and cutting-edge technology to highlight the beauty of metal leaf.

The bezel is formed from 27 components, each polished before assembly. The bezel and bracelet employ the super-hard alloys COBARION^*3 and DAT55G^*4, respectively. Together, the finishes and materials deliver both refined metallic beauty and toughness.
