Gujarat Biparjoy Kutch IMD Jakhau

With cyclonic storm Biparjoy inching nearer the Gujarat coast for likely landfall in less than 24 hours, State authorities intensified their efforts, shifting more than 70,000 people to safety on Wednesday and dispatching food packets to shelters. 

In its latest update, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said that Biparjoy was set to change its path on Wednesday and begin moving north-eastwards towards Kutch and Saurashtra, but would still make landfall as a very severe cyclonic storm with wind speeds ranging from 125 to 135 kmph, gusting to 145 kmph from morning till evening on Thursday.
