At least six people were killed as Cyclone Mora made landfall in Bangladesh on Tuesday. Fishermen in the coastal Indian state of Odisha have been asked not to venture into the sea as rains were expected at many places in the state.
Cyclone Mora made landfall in Bangladesh with winds of up to 150 kilometre per hour and damaging several houses, with authorities scrambling to evacuate over half-million people from the coastal areas. One of the six people died of a heart attack during the storm while others were killed by falling trees and houses in Cox's Bazar and Rangamati, Bangladeshi media reported.
The Odisha government has already alerted the collectors of Mayurbhanj, Balasore, Bhadrak and Jajpur districts to remain in a state of preparedness to deal with any situation in view of 'Mora'.
