Meteorological officials warn that Cyclone Arnab will hit India's coast today, prompting alerts and precautionary measures in vulnerable areas.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an advisory indicating that Cyclone Arnab is on track to make landfall on the Indian coastline today. The agency highlighted that the system is intensifying as it approaches the coast, and that heavy rainfall and strong winds are expected upon impact.
Coastal states have been placed on high alert, with disaster management teams mobilising resources and activating early warning systems. Local authorities are preparing evacuation centres and urging residents in low‑lying and flood‑prone zones to stay informed and follow official instructions.
Residents are advised to secure property, keep emergency kits ready, and avoid unnecessary travel during the cyclone's passage. Continuous updates will be provided by the IMD and state disaster response agencies as the situation evolves.
The government has also directed that power and communication networks be closely monitored to minimise disruptions, and that relief supplies be pre‑positioned to support any affected communities.
