The Odisha government on Wednesday began evacuation of approximately 2 lakh people in five coastal districts of the state, as Cyclone Titli over the Bay of Bengal intensified into a 'very severe cyclonic storm' and inched towards the Odisha-Andhra Pradesh coast.
People living in the low-lying areas and hutments along the coast line are being shifted to safer places, official sources said.
The India Meteorological Department said rainfall would be accompanied by gale wind speed reaching 140 to 150 kmph and gusting to 165 kmph along and off Odisha and north Andhra Pradesh coasts.
Friends, lets pray for the protection of lives and property coming on the way of cyclone Titli in Orissa tonight.
God bless!
