A recent cyclone has triggered large-scale evacuations in parts of India, particularly in West Bengal and Odisha, as well as neighboring Bangladesh. The storm has caused extensive damage, including destroyed homes and flooding in coastal regions. In Bangladesh, over 2 million people were moved to shelters, while India faced similar measures to protect residents from the powerful winds and storm surge.
Pakistan, though not directly in the path of this cyclone, has been on alert due to potential side effects, such as strong winds and high tides. Coastal regions in Pakistan, particularly in Sindh, have been advised to take precautionary measures as a safety step. While there is no immediate danger to Pakistan from the cyclone itself, its coastal areas, including Karachi, may experience strong winds and heavy rains due to the storm’s proximity.
