Digha (East Midnapore), (thestates.news) A silent, sombre frothy Digha awaits with a palpitated heart the unwelcome lashing of Amphan on the seashore with a speed between 165 and 175km/h in the next 24hours.
The severe cyclonic storm has a devastating capacity of large scale destruction
of the coastal areas of the district, authorities are worried here.
District Magistrate Partha Ghosh says that a group of National Disaster Rescue
Force reached here and started rescuing and removing from low lying place. As
because no fisherman are in the sea due to a-3-month moratorium in fishing there
is no problem with them. All Flood Centres have been visited and all Blocks alerted.
DM also apprehend that 3-6 metres high sea waves may lash the sea dykes at
different points.
Meanwhile, farmers in West Midnapore district have started cutting their standing
boro crops to minimize losses. (uni) (mediasaheb.com)
