The Indian Met Department issued a Red alert for the people living in and off the coast of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Puducherry. The severe cyclonic storm ‘Tauktae’ over the east-central Arabian Sea moved nearly northwards with a speed of about 9kmph during the past six hours, and intensified into a very severe cyclonic storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is yet not clear whether the cyclonic storm will cross the Gujarat coast or just skirt it by May 18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is very likely to intensify into a cyclonic storm during the next 12 hours and is very likely to intensify further during the subsequent 24 hours and move north, north-westwards, IMD said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In view of Cyclone Tauktae warning, National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) has deployed 24 teams in Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat and Maharashtra.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
