Cyclone Gulab likely to make landfall in Odisha today; rescue teams on standby, evacuation drive launched

Barely four months after ‘Yaas’ wreaked havoc in Odisha, the coastal state is bracing for another cyclone, 'Gulab', which is likely to make landfall on Sunday evening between Gopalpur and Kalingapatanam in Andhra Pradesh, the India Meteorological Department said. The deep depression over the Bay of Bengal intensified into cyclone 'Gulab' on Saturday and an orange alert has been issued for north Andhra Pradesh and adjoining south Odisha coasts, it said.
