Cyclone ‘Yaas’, packing winds gusting to 145 kmph whiplashed parts of Indias eastern coast Wednesday. It left behind a trail of damaged homes and flooded farmland, forcing more than 21 lakh people to be evacuated to safe shelters in the states of West Bengal, Odisha and Jharkhand.

After the havoc caused by the cyclonic storm, heavy post-cyclone rains Thursday has seen river water levels rising above the danger mark, placing four districts of Odisha – Bhadrak, Jajpur, Kendrapara and Keonjhar – on high alert.

Special Relief Commissioner PK Jena informed after the meeting that Odisha has not requested the prime minister to provide additional funds to tackle the after effects of cyclone ‘Yaas’. On the other hand, the state government has emphasized for a disaster resilient infrastructure in coastal areas. The state government has sought the Centre’s support in developing such infrastructure.

The Prime Minister is scheduled to leave for West Bengal at 12.10 pm after an aerial survey of the cyclone-hit Balasore and Bhadrak districts. From there, Modi will make an aerial survey of Purba Medinipore district in West Bengal before landing at the Kalaikunda Airforce base. He will then hold a meeting with West Bengal Chief Minister and other senior officials of the state. West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankar is also expected to be present in the meeting.
