The Odisha government on Tuesday stepped up multi-agency search and rescue (SAR) operations by engaging ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and other specialised equipment at a hilltop village on the Ganjam-Kandhamal border, where 10 people went missing after a massive landslide triggered by rain hit the area during Cyclone Arnab last week.

Odisha's Disaster Management minister Suresh Pujari said that the SAR operation at the Gidipabali village landslide site under Bhanjanagar block of Ganjam district entered its fourth day on Tuesday.
