The Indian Navy is gearing up for Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) operations in Odisha and West Bengal as Cyclone Dana nears. Essential supplies like food, water, medicines, and clothing have been sent to key locations, and flood relief and diving teams are ready for coordinated efforts. Heavy rains have already hit both states, prompting authorities to evacuate lakhs from coastal areas before the cyclone’s expected landfall tonight. Kolkata and Bhubaneswar airports have suspended operations, and nearly 200 train services have been cancelled in the region as part of safety measures ahead of the cyclone’s impact.
