Cyclone Murasu made landfall along India's eastern coastline, delivering strong winds and heavy rainfall to the affected regions. The Indian Meteorological Department had issued warnings in advance, urging residents in low‑lying and coastal areas to take precautionary measures.
Meteorologists noted that the cyclone’s wind speeds were sufficient to cause damage to infrastructure and to trigger localized flooding. Emergency services were on standby, and several coastal districts had activated disaster‑management protocols.
Local authorities advised people to stay indoors, secure loose objects, and avoid traveling on roads that could be washed out. The government has also set up evacuation centers for those in the most vulnerable zones.
As the storm moves inland, officials will continue to monitor rainfall patterns and potential flash‑flood risks. Residents are urged to stay tuned to official updates from the IMD and local authorities.
