Meanwhile, cyclone ‘Asani’ has reduced into a ‘cyclonic storm’, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), and is expected to transform into a depression by Thursday. The state of Andhra Pradesh has issued a ‘red’ alert for the coast. For relief activities, nine SDRF and NDRF teams have been dispatched.
‘It is very likely to move nearly northwards for next few hours and recurve slowly north-northeastwards along Narsapur, Yanam, Kakinada, Tuni and Visakhapatnam coasts during noon to evening on Wednesday, and emerge into the west-central Bay of Bengal off North Andhra Pradesh coasts by night’, the India Meteorological Department had stated in a bulletin.
