Cyclone Fani, the strongest cyclone this early this year in the North Indian ocean since 2008, is close to making landfall on Odisha coast today with the process beginning at around 8:30 a.m. on Friday morning.

It is being said that the cyclone is carrying winds with speed of up to 200 kmph. The Naveen Patnaik government in Odisha has evacuated more than 1 million people and has shifted them to shelter homes, with the target of ensuring zero-casualty in the cyclone.

A total of 19 districts in Odisha and West Bengal will be affected by the cyclone, along with parts of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. Rains combined with high speed have been witnessed in the region since over the past two days. The IMD has said that the impact of the cyclone will slow down after 4 p.m. on Friday.

The Odisha government issued a notice to close schools and colleges till further orders. In West Bengal, educational campuses will remain shut till May 4 in view of the threat posed by Fani.

The Model Code Of Conduct in place due to the ongoing Lok Sabha Elections 2019 has also been eased out to enable state governments to prepare for the impact of the cyclone.
