Cyclone Biparjoy is expected to make landfall in India and Pakistan on Thursday. Powerful winds, storm surges, and lashing rains were forecast to hammer a 325-kilometer stretch of coast between Mandvi in Gujarat and Karachi in Pakistan.
According to India Meteorological Department (IMD), the powerful storm would hit the Indian port of Jakhau late evening today, warning of massive destruction, including the uprooting of power and communication poles, disruption of airlines, and damages to thatched houses.
The administration has shifted people from nearly 120 villages located between zero and 10 km from the seashore in Kutch district.
The IMD said that the intensity of rainfall will increase as the powerful weather system approaches the coast, with isolated places in Kutch, Devbhumi Dwarka and Jamnagar districts likely to witness extremely heavy rainfall.
