Odisha and West Bengal are experiencing incessant rains, but the Bhubaneswar and Kolkata airports, which were closed for more than 14 hours, have resumed operations. Both airports resumed services an hour early instead of the previously announced 9 am today. Though the Bhubaneswar airport authorities also got a bomb threat via X on Thursday, it was later declared a hoax, declared authorities. Around 95 flights reportedly faced bomb threat issues on the day, which has been a growing trend for the past few days. Meanwhile, the various railway divisions continue to cancel trains as a safety measure. Eastern India's railway network announced that it faces major disruptions with over 175 trains cancelled until Oct 29.
