Bhubaneswar:�Several parts of Odisha received light to moderate rainfall on Saturday as cyclone Dana gradually weakened into a well-marked low pressure within the state, according to IMD.

Cyclone Dana is most likely to track northwest-wards and move across Odisha through the day on Friday and further weaken into a deep depression towards evening, the Met officials said.

Heavy rain and gusty winds impacted normal lives in Odisha and West Bengal as Cyclone Dana battered India's eastern coast disrupting some civic services and damaging crops and trees. The landfall process began on Thursday midnight and is expected to gradually slow down in the early hours of Friday.
