Bhubaneswar: IMD DG Mrutyunjay Mohapatra has given an update on the cyclone ‘Dana‘ that has formed in the East-Central Bay of Bengal. He said, the impact of Cyclone Dana will be more in Bhadrak, Kendrapara and Baleshwar districts. Apart from this, Jajpur and Jagatsinghpur districts will also be affected. Between the Dhamara and Bhitarakanika the cyclone will touch the ground. As a result, there will be tides in the sea, with only the Baitarani River between the two places.
Cyclone ‘Dana’ : Various farmers will be affected by this storm. We have issued warnings at the ports. The government is wary of this as it is a national park in the Bhitarakanika. The landfall process will continue till the morning of 25th. Therefore, IMD DG Mrutyunjay Mohapatra advised people to stay at home without unnecessary movement. The advice of the state government should be followed. What we predicted from the beginning has come true.
