Collectors of 10 coastal Odisha districts were on Friday asked to identify vulnerable households and additional cyclone shelters for safer evacuation of people while following COVID-19 protocol. The instruction was issued for swift evacuation in the event of a cyclone that’s brewing over Bay of Bengal hitting the State’s coast. According to an India Meteorological Department bulletin, a low pressure area is very likely to form over the east-central Bay of Bengal and the adjoining North Andaman Sea on May 22. It is likely to move northwestwards and intensify into a cyclonic storm by May 24. It would continue to move northwestwards, intensify further and reach the north Bay of Bengal near the Odisha and West Bengal coasts around the morning of May 26.More Related News
