Red alert issued in Kerala and Tamil Nadu- Namaste English

After stating that a low pressure is likely to brew in the South-east Arabian sea on Friday, which could lead to a cyclonic storm, the IMD has forecasted heavy rainfall in Kerala and TN. Due to the possibility of intense squalls and torrential rains, a red alert has been announced in both the states. Fishermen have been warned not to venture out to sea. The Indian Navy too has been asked to be prepared to take up relief and rescue operations, if need be.

यह बताते हुए कि दक्षिण-पूर्व अरब सागर में शुक्रवार को कम दबाव पैदा होने की संभावना है, जो चक्रवाती तूफान का कारण बन सकता है, IMD ने केरल और तमिलनाडु में भारी बारिश का पूर्वानुमान लगाया है। तेज़ आंधी और मूसलाधार वर्षा की संभावना के कारण दोनों राज्यों में रेड अलर्ट घोषित किया गया है। मछुआरों को चेतावनी दी गई है कि वे समुद्र में जाने का जोखिम न उठाएं । भारतीय नौसेना को भी आवश्यकता पड़ने पर राहत और बचाव अभियान शुरू करने के लिए तैयार रहने के लिए कहा गया है।
