The cyclone's impact resulted in extremely heavy rainfall and high winds in several districts, but no casualties have been reported.

The coastal districts of Odisha are grappling with the impacts of Cyclone Dana as it makes landfall. NDRF and ODRAF teams are actively engaged in clearing major roads of uprooted trees, while heavy rain continues to batter the region.

The Indian Meteorological Department confirmed that the cyclone is likely to weaken by the forenoon of October 25. No major casualties have been recorded, although there is significant damage to infrastructure, particularly electrical installations, due to the storm's intensity.

In light of the cyclone, Bhubaneswar's Biju Patnaik International Airport and Indian Railways suspended services. Authorities are closely monitoring the situation to assess damage and coordinate relief efforts. The affected districts remain under surveillance as teams strive to restore normalcy.
