Cyclone Biparjoy: PM Modi held a review meeting yesterday.
Evacuation will continue in villages near the Gujarat coast today as cyclone ‘Biparjoy’ intensified into an “extremely severe cyclonic storm”. It is likely to make landfall between Kutch and Pakistan’s Karachi on Thursday afternoon. Prime Minister Narendra Modi yesterday held a high-level review meeting and was briefed about the efforts taken to mitigate the impact of the cyclone.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) today issued an Orange alert for Saurashtra and Kutch coasts in Gujarat as the cyclonic storm Biparjoy is set to cross the Jakhau Port in Gujarat by the evening of June 15 as a Very Severe Cyclonic Storm (VSCS).
