Gujarat is bracing for the extremely severe cyclonic storm Biparjoy, which is expected to make a landfall near the Jakhau fishing harbour in Kutch on Thursday, as the authorities have launched a massive effort to shift people to safer locations to mitigate the likely damages.
A series of meetings have been held in New Delhi and in Gandhinagar to take stock of the preparations and chalk out the details about the precautionary measures and deployment of machinery and resources to deal with the likely fallout of the storm.
In New Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired a high-level meeting while separate meetings were held in Delhi as well as in Gandhinagar.
