Indian authorities have shut schools and evacuated tens of thousands of people from low-lying coastal areas as the country’s eastern seaboard braces for the impact of Cyclone Montha later Tuesday.
Swirling over the Bay of Bengal, Montha has intensified into a severe cyclonic storm, and is expected to make landfall late Tuesday near the port city of Kakinada in southern Andhra Pradesh, the weather office said in its latest bulletin.
