India is preparing to fight Cyclone Nisarga barely within two weeks of Cyclone Amphan. The cyclonic storm which is currently a depression is reaching Gujarat and Maharashtra at the speed of 4km/hr. A red alert has been issued to Maharashtra and Gujarat.
The Indian Meteorological Department on Tuesday said that the depression in the Arabian Sea could develop into a cyclonic storm in the next 12 hours and later intensify into a severe cyclonic storm within the next 24 hours. It is very likely to move nearly northwards during the next six hours and recurve north-northeastwards thereafter, and cross north Maharashtra and adjoining south Gujarat coast between Harihareshwar (Raigad, Maharashtra) and Daman during the afternoon of June 3, the IMD said.
