KARACHI (republic policy) – Biparjoy — a very severe cyclonic storm — is likely to hit Sindh’s shores today, with the local authorities bracing for “possible damage”.
The country’s coastal regions remained on high alert on Wednesday, with tens of thousands of people being evacuated to prevent the impact of the cyclone. Biparjoy is inching closer to India and Pakistan, prompting authorities to take preventive measures to minimise the damage it may cause to life and property.
The Met department’s advisory released Wednesday night showed that Biparjoy had moved north-eastwards during the past six hours.
Taking to Twitter, the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) says the cyclone is being monitored continuously, and an important meeting was held at 1 am on Thursday.
