"As #CycloneFani approaches, I urge Congress workers in Odisha, Andhra & West Bengal to warn people in their surrounding areas of the approaching danger and to help those in need," the Congress chief said in a tweet several hours ahead of the Cyclone Fani hitting the Odisha coast on Friday morning.
"Stay safe. This danger will soon pass. You are in my thoughts and prayers tonight," he said.
Extremely severe cyclonic storm 'Fani' made landfall in Puri on Odisha coast Friday morning, triggering heavy rainfall coupled with high-velocity winds with speed of 175 kmph in vast areas.
Large areas in the seaside pilgrim town of Puri and other places were submerged with water as heavy rains battered the entire coastal belt of the state. |
