Mumbai Escapes Nisarga Fury As Cyclone Shifts Course

The dreaded cyclone Nisarga changed course to southwest and made its landfall on Alibaugh even as metropolitan city of Mumbai and adjoining Thane remained prepared and on edge on Wednesday.

The city witnessed strong winds but escaped the cyclonic fury for which the thousands of NDRF personnel and BMC workers had prepared for the worst.

The cyclone intensified into a severe storm in the early hours of Wednesday as expected by Indian Meterological Department, which had issued warning for coastal areas of Maharashtra, and Daman and Diu.

The flight services were resumed from 6:00 pm at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport.
Earlier in the day, all flights scheduled to operate between 2.30 pm and 7.00 pm on Wednesday at the CSMIA were suspended after a FedEx aircraft overshot the runway.In the wake of Cyclone Nisarga, the CSMIA had cancelled most of the flights.

The cyclone made landfall near Alibaug in Maharashtra and is expected to weaken into a cyclonic storm in the next six hours, as per the India Meteorological Department (IMD).

Several evacuation operations are being conducted across the state by the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) with the help of Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), armed forces and the state police.

Cyclone Nisarga has impacted many daily activities and transportation in Maharashtra.The state government has issued an advisory with a list of do’s and don’ts to stay safe.
