Bhubaneswar, Nov 2: Two members of the central team have arrived in Odisha to assess the damage caused by Cyclone Arnab, while the remaining members of the eight-member team are expected to reach the state by Monday evening.

The central team will begin its field assessment from Tuesday, visiting the cyclone-affected districts of Ganjam and Gajapati to evaluate the extent of damage.

According to officials, the eight-member team will be divided into two groups to conduct separate assessments in the two districts. One team will visit Ganjam, while the other will inspect affected areas in Gajapati. The teams will examine the damage caused by the cyclone and subsequent heavy rainfall, including the impact on houses, infrastructure, agricultural losses and other public assets.
