Low-pressure set to intensify into depression, reach Andhra coast by Nov 2
A low-pressure weather system near the Andaman and Nicobar Islands became a well-marked system on Saturday and was likely to intensify into a depression before reaching the Andhra Pradesh coast around November 2 evening, the weather department said. In its morning bulletin on Saturday, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said the low-pressure area has concentrated into a well-marked low-pressure area. The system is moving in a west-north-westward direction. It is expected to intensify into a depression over the same region during the next 12 hours, said Manorama Mohanty, the director of the meteorological centre in Bhubaneswar. Mohanty said the IMD was yet to provide any clear information on the possible impact of the system on Odisha. We are monitoring the system's progress and will issue further updates as it evolves, she said. A depression is a weather condition which is more intense than low pressure and less impactful than a cyclonic storm. Andhra Pradesh and .

Startup bug bites fewer IIT, IIM alumni
New Delhi: Fewer graduates from Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) are taking the entrepreneurial path in 2026 compared to last year, although India's appetite for startups remains strong.Only 79 IIT alumni and 20 IIM alumni launched new tech startups between January and August this year, compared to 307 IIT graduates and 71 IIM graduates who founded startups in the entire 2025, according to Tracxn data collated for ET. The platform tracks only the year of incorporation for tech startups, so it does not have comparable January-August 2025 data.Also Read: Not Just AI - How soft skills are becoming key to getting hiredFurther, according to Tracxn data, 6,353 tech startups were founded until August this year, compared with 3,969 in the whole of 2025.The increase in the number of startups being founded is a positive sign, but the real question is who is making that transition. The fact that we are not seeing a meaningful increase in founders from the IITs and IIMs suggests there is still a large, untapped pool of talent, said Vikram Gupta, founder and managing partner, IvyCap Ventures.Also Read: Centre to tap IITs, NITs for nuclear tech courses to power India's 100 GW dream135376542AI & Layoffs as Decisive FactorsIf India wants to build the next generation of enduring companies, entrepreneurship must become a more viable career choice for a much wider talent pool, Gupta said.According to Saakshi Gera, managing director at Kedaara Capital, startups are increasing largely because artificial intelligence (AI) and no-code tools have dramatically reduced the cost of launching a venture, while layoffs have made entrepreneurship a more viable fallback option.But volume isn't quality. Investors continue to prioritise sustainable unit economics, and India's most credentialed talent is increasingly choosing safer, AI-adjacent jobs instead, Gera said.More IIT graduates take the entrepreneurial route than IIM alumni. India had 196,704 tech startups as of August 2026, according to Tracxn. Of these, 6,147 had at least one IIT founder, while 2,102 had at least one IIM founder.IIT alumni continue to account for a substantially larger share of startup founders than IIM alumni, which is consistent with the larger IIT alumni base and the strong engineering and deep-tech orientation of many technology startups, said Neha Singh, cofounder of Tracxn. The technical founders have the tendency to initiate ventures early, often complemented by business expertise from IIM graduates or other professionals as companies scale.For the study, the market intelligence platform considered alumni from IITs including Bombay, Delhi, Kharagpur, Kanpur, Madras, Roorkee, Jodhpur, Hyderabad, Guwahati, BHU (Varanasi), Mandi, Bhubaneswar and ISM Dhanbad, as well as IIMs at Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Calcutta, Indore, Lucknow, Udaipur, Nagpur, Kashipur, Sirmaur and Sambalpur. According to Tracxn, it takes time to fully incorporate a company formally. The full incorporation figures as well as the final share for startups founded in 2026 will only be known later. This may rise to some extent, said Singh.

Odisha flood fury: Oppn says govt inaction despite advance cyclone warning
Digital Desk | Bhubaneswar, Oct 30 (IANS) Amid the severe flooding in Ganjam and Gajapati districts of Odisha, the Opposition Biju Janata Dal (BJD) and Congress on Friday targeted the state Government, questioning its preparedness to tackle the cyclone and subsequent floods in the affected districts despite warnings from the India Meteorological Department (IMD). In a press conference held in Bhubaneswar, senior BJD Chief Whip in the Odisha Legislative Assembly, Pramila Mallik, and BJD Vice-President Pratap Jena raised serious questions regarding the state governments preparedness and its handling of the flood situation. Had the Government taken preventive measures in advance, such a situation could have been avoided. In particular, the Government should have given priority to reservoir management, proper drainage arrangements and the repair of vulnerable river embankments, Mallik said. She also stated that several river embankments in Ganjam and Gajapati districts had already been damaged due to illegal sand mining, which contributed to the devastating flood situation. Despite advance information about the possibility of heavy rainfall, why did the Government fail to take precautionary measures? Instead of assisting flood-affected people, the Government is busy with its own publicity and propaganda, Mallik added. She also demanded that the government make public how many helicopters were deployed for rescue operations and how much assistance has actually been provided to the flood victims. The party alleged that the state government has been neglecting proper flood management in addressing the plight of flood-affected people and warned that the BJD would intensify its democratic agitation if the situation persisted. The opposition Congress also launched a scathing attack on the state government, saying that the current situation in Ganjam has exposed serious gaps in disaster preparedness, coordination and response by the State Government. Questioning the preparedness of the state Government, Odisha Pradesh Congress Committee (OPCC) spokesperson Abhishek Mahananda said that in an age of advanced technology, satellite-based forecasting and early-warning systems, the administration cannot afford to remain unprepared for an impending natural calamity. He questioned the effectiveness of the government's disaster management arrangements despite the forecasts and warnings issued by the IMD regarding Cyclone Arnab. The OPCC demanded that the state government immediately expedite rescue and relief operations, undertake a comprehensive assessment of the damage, ensure adequate compensation, provide emergency healthcare, safe drinking water and sanitation, and restore connectivity in the affected areas.

Digital Desk | Bhubaneswar, Oct 30 (IANS) Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Friday conducted an aerial survey of the affected areas of Ganjam and Gajapati districts of the state to assess the flood situation and review rescue and relief operations. Heavy downpour caused by the cyclonic storm Arnab has left several villages waterlogged and thousands of people stranded in Ganjam and Gajapati districts. This also caused extensive damage to roads and other infrastructure due to waterlogging and landslides in various areas in South Odisha. Ganjam has reported the highest number of affected people at 42,564, followed by Gajapati with 30,000 and Kandhamal with 12,000. People living in vulnerable and low-lying areas have been evacuated to safer locations, while relief camps have been set up to accommodate those displaced by the floods. In a statement posted on his X handle, CM Majhi stated, I consider the protection of the lives and property of the people of the State during a disaster to be my highest priority. Revenue and Disaster Management Minister Suresh Pujari also accompanied the Chief Minister during the aerial survey of the flood-affected areas of Ganjam and Gajapati districts. The entire administration is working round the clock to ensure that food, drinking water and essential healthcare services reach the affected people without any disruption. I have directed officials to further expedite relief and rescue operations. Besides, the administration has been instructed to remain fully alert to restore damaged roads, normalise power supply and control post-flood health problems, said Majhi. He further emphasised that the State Government stands firmly by the people and is committed to providing all necessary assistance to those affected by the floods. In this difficult time, your government stands firmly with you. Please have courage, stay in safe places, follow the instructions of the local administration and rescue teams, and extend a helping hand to one another. Together, we will overcome this crisis very soon, CM appealed to the people.

Cyclone Arnab: Thousands stranded as severe floods inundate Odisha's Ganjam, Gajapati
Digital Desk | Bhubaneswar, Oct 30 (IANS) The flood situation remains critical in Odisha, particularly Ganjam and Gajapati districts, in the wake of incessant rainfall induced by severe Cyclonic storm 'Arnab'. The exceptional downpour triggered massive flash flooding in several areas of South Odisha, disrupting road connectivity after roads and bridges were washed away. Several areas were cut off, leaving thousands of people stranded in the affected southern districts. Among the affected districts, Ganjam remains a major cause for concern, with rescue teams undertaking extensive operations to evacuate people stranded by the floods. Speaking to media persons, Odisha Revenue and Disaster Management Minister Suresh Pujari on Friday said an analysis of rainfall data of the last three days preceding Thursday revealed that Ganjam district received 118 per cent excess rainfall. Similarly, Gajapati recorded 103 per cent excess rainfall over the same two to three days, while Kandhamal received 123 per cent excess rainfall. Ganjam district broke all previous rainfall records this time, receiving an unprecedented amount of rainfall within such a short period. This resulted in extensive damage across the district, the minister said. As many as 386 villages under 22 blocks and 18 Urban local bodies have been affected in Ganjam. Around 43,000 people have been affected in Ganjam district, of whom 23,323 have been evacuated and accommodated in various relief centres. On Thursday, the Indian Coast Guard aircrew using the ALH Mk-III helicopter successfully winched six individuals -- including two women, two children, and one elderly person -- stranded at a heavily inundated Public Health Centre (PHC) in Jagmohan in Ganjam district to safety. Meanwhile, Fire Services personnel have so far rescued 303 people stranded in Berhampur, 359 in Chhatrapur in Ganjam district, 31 in Gajapati district and 91 in Kandhamal district. The Indian Navy, utilising four of its helicopters, started carrying food packets and air-dropping relief materials at 21 locations in the flood-affected Ganjam district on Friday. The Fire Services and Odisha Disaster Rapid Action Force (ODRAF) teams have also been deployed to deliver food supplies to affected people. The strong water currents that prevented rescue teams from reaching several areas earlier have now subsided, allowing them to access all flood-hit villages, including those that remain marooned. At present, 352 relief centres are operational in Ganjam district and 340 in Gajapati district. As many as 23,300 people are currently staying in the 352 relief centres in Ganjam, while 21,782 people have taken shelter in the 340 relief centres in Gajapati. Revenue Minister Pujari said that the number of people still marooned in flood-affected areas is higher than those accommodated in relief centres. He also expected the situation to improve soon, as there had been no rainfall in the past 24 hours. Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi did an aerial survey of the flood-affected areas in Ganjam and other districts. The central team is also likely to visit the affected areas soon to assess the damage caused by the cyclone and incessant rainfall in Odisha.

Odisha: Vigilance nabs forest official in bribery case
Digital Desk | Bhubaneswar, Oct 29 (IANS) Odisha Vigilance on Thursday apprehended an official of the state forest department while allegedly receiving a bribe of Rs 1 lakh from a staff member of the Phulnakhara Range for releasing bills towards maintenance of three plantation sites. The accused official was identified as Mousumi Behera, Deputy Ranger of Phulnakhara under the City Forest Division, Bhubaneswar. According to a Vigilance press statement, Behera had reportedly demanded a bribe for releasing bills covering maintenance work, including watch and ward, watering and application of fertilisers, carried out at the three plantation sites between July and September 2026. Behera demanded a bribe of Rs.1 Lakh from the staffer towards release of the amount for the above 3 months and also asked him, if she was not paid the demanded bribe Rs 1 Lakh, she would not release the bill for the upcoming months. Aggrieved by the demand and unable to meet it, the staff member approached the Vigilance authorities and lodged a complaint, the Odisha Vigilance said. Acting on the complaint, a team of Odisha Vigilance on Thursday laid a trap and apprehended Behera while she was allegedly accepting Rs 1 lakh from the complainant. The entire tainted bribe amount was recovered from her possession and seized by the officials. Following the trap, Vigilance officials have launched simultaneous searches at two locations linked to Behera to investigate allegations of possession of assets disproportionate to her known sources of income. In this connection, a case (9/26) has been registered at the Vigilance Cell Police Station on October 28 against Behera under Section 7 of the Prevention of Corruption (Amendment) Act, 2018. Further investigation into the case is underway, the Vigilance statement said.
