CNN
Just a week after Tropical Cyclone Tauktae hit the West coast of India, the northeast coast of the country now prepares for Tropical Cyclone Yaas.
Last week, Tropical Cyclone Tauktae hit northwestern India, bringing flooding rains and storm surge to areas including Mumbai. Tauktae was the strongest storm to ever make landfall on the western coast of India, killing over 100 people. Ahead of Yaas, West Bengal intends to evacuate at least 1 million people, the chief minister of West Bengal Mamata Banerjee said Monday at a news conference. At least 19,000 people had been evacuated as of Monday from low-lying areas in India's Odisha state, its additional relief commissioner Kamal Mishra said.More Related News
