Jagatsinghpur district witnessed a dramatic sea breach near Shiali and Ramtara as rough waves battered the coast. At Ramtara Meera Sea Beach, sand embankments collapsed, creating a massive 100-foot gap.
This breach allowed saline water to enter rivers and farmland, sparking fears of crop damage.
Locals recall a similar incident last year at the same spot, highlighting the vulnerability of the coastline. With the sea remaining turbulent for the past three days, panic has spread among residents. Farmers worry about the destruction of standing crops as seawater inundates agricultural land.
The breach has intensified concerns over coastal erosion and the need for stronger protective measures. Authorities are expected to assess the damage and take preventive steps to safeguard livelihoods in the affected areas.
