The authorities of India reported that on Friday, along the eastern coastline of the country, a "severe tropical storm" struck, which toppled trees, disrupted electricity, and flooded several regions.
Strong winds with gusts and heavy rains resulted in the storm claiming not only lives but also causing significant damage to the region's infrastructure. Thousands of people were forced to leave their homes and seek refuge from the natural disaster.
Local services were mobilized for the deployment of operations to provide assistance to the affected and restore the damaged areas. Teams are working on-site to restore electricity, clean the roads, and provide necessary medical aid to those in need.
One of the eyewitnesses shared their impressions: "The storm came unexpectedly and was very strong. Trees were snapped, roofs were ripped off, and streets turned into rivers. It was a terrifying experience, and we had to find shelter to survive." Emergency services continue to work at the site of the incident, providing assistance to those affected and restoring the impacted areas from the aftermath of the storm.
