Cyclone Remal Updates
Meanwhile, the severe Cyclonic Storm ‘Remal’ has made landfall between Sagar Island in West Bengal and Khepupara in Bangladesh, bringing heavy rainfall to several surrounding regions. Cyclone Remal hit with wind speeds of 135 kilometers per hour, causing extensive damage to infrastructure and property.
The cyclone has now weakened into a cyclonic storm and is expected to diminish further, according to the IMD. The aftermath of the storm left many without power, and tragically, one man was killed in Kolkata when concrete debris fell on him during the peak of the storm.
Authorities are continuing to assess the damage and provide relief to affected areas. The public is advised to stay informed through official channels and follow safety guidelines during both the heatwave and post-cyclone recovery efforts.
