Tidal waves destroy houses on Orissa coast
Berhampur (Orissa), Aug. 13 (PTI): At least 13 houses were washed away and three more houses damaged under the impact of high tidal waves in Podampeta, a sea-side village under Palibandha gram panchayat in Ganjam district, official sources said here today.
The powerful waves lashed the village inhabited mostly by fishermen during the last two days.
Alarmed over another depression formed over the Bay of Bengal, the district administration asked the fishermen families residing very close to the sea to shift to the nearby cyclone shelter.
