Cyclone Murasu is expected to bring severe winds and heavy rainfall to Odisha, prompting authorities to issue a weather alert.
Cyclone Murasu has intensified over the Bay of Bengal and is now projected to make landfall along the Odisha coast within the next 24 hours. The Indian Meteorological Department has upgraded the cyclone to a severe category, warning of winds exceeding 150 km/h and potential storm surges.
State and local authorities have activated emergency response plans, including the evacuation of vulnerable coastal villages and the deployment of rescue teams. Residents in districts such as Cuttack, Puri, and Ganjam are advised to stay indoors and secure loose structures.
Meteorologists predict heavy rainfall of up to 200 mm in some areas, which could lead to flash flooding and landslides in hilly regions. The cyclone is expected to bring sustained winds for several hours, followed by a gradual weakening as it moves inland.
The Odisha government has urged citizens to follow official advisories and to keep emergency kits ready. Updates will continue to be provided by Kanak News and the national weather bureau.
