According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), Cyclone Dana is expected to hit the shores of Odisha and West Bengal on Friday morning. Wind speeds are forecasted to be between 100-110 km/h, reaching up to 120 km/h. Heavy rainfall and strong winds are anticipated along the eastern coast, particularly from Puri in Odisha to Sagar Island in West Bengal.
Due to the approaching Cyclone 'Dana', set to make landfall in West Bengal and Odisha on October 25, 198 trains were canceled from October 23 to 26, and schools in various districts of Odisha and West Bengal were shut down.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) reported that a clearly defined low-pressure system in the Bay of Bengal strengthened into a depression on Tuesday, moving towards the eastern coast and possibly developing into a severe cyclonic storm. The depression is expected to strengthen into a cyclonic storm around October 23 and escalate into a severe cyclonic storm by October 25.
Bijay Mohapatra, the Health Director of Odisha, announced that all doctors in the state will not be allowed to take leave from October 23 to 25 due to the anticipated cyclone Dana.
Per a report from Times Now, Health Director Bijay Mohapatra stated that the State government in Odisha has established a protocol for such disasters. According to the protocol, there are two tiers -facility level and community level.”
Flights Remain Unaffected
Despite preparations being made by airport authorities in Kolkata to handle any potential consequences of an approaching cyclonic storm, flight operations continue to run smoothly for now. The Chief Minister of West Bengal recommended that tourists from the state who are in Puri, Odisha, should go back to their homes.
People Are Being Evacuated
The authorities in Odisha and Bengal have chosen to remove individuals from risky zones, as the Indian Coast Guard has been placed on heightened alert.
