After concluding the visit, the team led by Gopal Krishna, joint secretary, union home ministry, met Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik and discussed the loss and damage caused by Hudhud Oct 12.
According to a press release from the chief minister's office, the team will submit the report to the home ministry in seven days.
