The breaches, measuring about 80 ft and 50 ft, occurred at Dobabil under Dasarathpur block, affecting nearly 30,000 people in Tarpada and Kasapa panchayats. Floodwaters submerged several villages and entered more than 100 houses, with water levels reaching window height in many homes. Residents fled to safety, including the Baitarani embankment and designated flood shelters, carrying whatever belongings they could save. Officials warned that the flood situation could worsen in Korei, Jajpur, Dasarathpur and Binjharpur blocks if additional gates are opened. State Excise Commissioner P Anvesha Reddy and Jajpur Collector Ambar Kumar Kar visited the breach site and supervised rescue operations.
