Cyclone ‘Jawad’ roams the Bay of Bengal, may weaken a bit on Saturday

In this method, ‘Jawad’ may perhaps not be allowed to travel deep into the interior of the two States.

Serious cyclone to weaken

Off-shore functions

Offshore and alongside-shore functions alongside the North Andhra Pradesh, Odisha and West Bengal coasts had been advised to be judiciously controlled on Friday and suspended on both of those Saturday and Sunday till these types of time ‘Jawad’ passes. Fishermen have been advised not to venture into West-Central and North-West Bay of Bengal and alongside and off the North Andhra Pradesh-Odisha-West Bengal coasts right until Sunday.
