Severe cyclonic storm ‘Remal’ has intensified and is expected to make landfall between the coasts of Bangladesh and adjoining West Bengal around Sunday midnight, prompting the evacuation of over 1 lakh people from vulnerable areas of the state to safety.

According to an India Meteorological Department (IMD) bulletin, the ‘Remal’ was centred 160 km south-southeast of Sagar Island at 6pm.
The cyclone, which has a maximum sustained wind speed of 100-110 kmph, gusting to 120 kmph, is likely to hit land between Sagar Islands in West Bengal and Khepupara near Mongla port in Bangladesh by Sunday midnight, officials said.
