Reports say, a red alert has been issued for three districts of Puri, Ganjam, and Gajapati for October 27. The leave of government officials has been canceled. Those on leave have been ordered to join work immediately. Even though there is a holiday tomorrow, everyone will join the preparation program.
On the other hand it is worth mentioning here that another major Odisha cyclone update is that, fishermen have been asked to return from the sea by tomorrow morning.
The Revenue Minister has informed the media that relief and cyclone shelters have been asked to be ready. The ODRAF and NDRF teams have been placed on alert and people have been requested not to panic.
The IMD has not yet estimated where the landfall will be. However, the cyclone is likely to make landfall between Kakinada and Gopalpur in Andhra Pradesh. Keeping this in mind, the state government is making several preparations. Revenue Minister Suresh Pujari held a meeting with 16 District Collectors and SRCs at Rajiv Bhavan today.
