Beyond the imagination of many environment activists and green technologists, the pollution level on the Kali Puja night of Monday and the morning after in Kolkata, which has been reported as the world's second most polluted in to a recent report of HEI SoGA, came down to a record low in the last 40 years.
With high winds and heavy rains, the cyclone erased houses, crops, and infrastructure in a vast swath of the country while most of the casualties were caused by falling trees, reports Xinhua news agency.
According to the IMD, Sitrang has already lost much of its strength and has been converted into a deep depression, which will subsequently lose strength over the next few hours.
Under the influence of Cyclone Sitrang, a red alert indicating heavy to very heavy and extremely heavy rainfall has been issued for Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram, and Tripura on Monday.
The weather system moved west-northwestward and concentrated into a depression on October 22, 2022 at 8.30 am, close to west of Andaman Islands, the bulletin said.
