Cyclone Kyarr: Red alert sounded
The Weatherman has issued a red alert in the coastal regions of Goa, Maharashtra and Karnataka. That’s because cyclonic storm Kyarr, which formed over the Arabian Sea, is expected to intensify over the next 24 hours into an 'extremely severe cyclone.' Heavy rains have been battering parts of the three states and IMD officials expect that to continue into the Diwali weekend. This year’s monsoon claimed lives of as many as 2,155 people across 22 states, home ministry officials say.
