Cyclone Dana is set to make landfall in Odisha tonight, prompting the evacuation of nearly 10 lakh people. With wind speeds reaching up to 120 km/h, normal life in Odisha and West Bengal has been severely disrupted, leading to the cancellation of 203 trains and the suspension of operations at Kolkata and Bhubaneswar airports. Heavy rainfall and gusty winds have affected both states, with relief efforts underway. The Indian Navy is prepared for humanitarian assistance, while over 1.5 lakh individuals have already been relocated to relief camps across West Bengal as officials race against time.
