Puri: While tourists are advised not to visit Puri over the weekend, ‘Red Flag’ placed at Puri sea beach as a precautionary measure to keep people away from the beach in view of Cyclone Jawad.
Tourists have been urged to stay away from beaches in view of the hostile weather conditions.
IMD forecasted that the cyclone may weaken by the time it reaches the Puri coast into a deep depression.
“It’s likely to weaken gradually & move nearly northwards during the next 12 hours and then north-northeastwards along Odisha coast reaching near Puri around Sunday noon as a deep depression. It’s likely to weaken further and move north-northeastwards towards the West Bengal coast,” Said the Met department.
