The Indian Meteorological Department has issued a cyclone watch for the coastal districts of Odisha, urging residents to stay alert for heavy rain and strong winds.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has placed a cyclone watch over the coastal belt of Odisha following indications of a low-pressure system developing over the Bay of Bengal. Meteorologists say the system has the potential to intensify into a cyclonic storm as it moves westward towards the state.
Authorities in Odisha have been advised to monitor the situation closely and to prepare emergency response measures, including the activation of disaster management teams and the dissemination of timely information to the public.
Residents of vulnerable coastal areas are urged to stay informed through official channels, secure property against possible damage, and be ready to follow evacuation orders if the situation escalates.
The IMD will continue to issue updates as the system evolves, with the next advisory expected within the next few hours.
No immediate impact has been reported, but the warning underscores the need for vigilance during the pre-monsoon season.
