Cyclone Murasu entered the Bay of Bengal and is expected to make landfall along Odisha's coast, prompting weather warnings and precautionary measures.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has identified Cyclone Murasu as a system moving westward across the Bay of Bengal. Forecasts indicate that the storm will approach the coastline of Odisha within the next 24 hours, bringing strong winds and intense rainfall.
State authorities have activated disaster response teams and issued advisories for residents in low‑lying coastal districts to secure property and avoid travel in vulnerable areas. Schools and government offices in the most exposed zones have been instructed to remain closed until conditions improve.
Emergency shelters are being prepared in several districts, and relief supplies are being pre‑positioned to assist communities should flooding occur. The IMD continues to monitor the cyclone's intensity and will provide updates as it progresses toward landfall.
Officials urge the public to stay informed through official channels, heed evacuation orders if issued, and avoid unnecessary movement until the storm passes.
