Cyclone Amphan LIVE updates: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday said that 72 people have died due to super cyclone Amphan in the state and requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi to visit the affected areas. Banerjee said, " I have never seen such a disaster before. I will ask PM to visit the state and see the situation. There have been casualties."
The India Meteorological Department said that 'Amphan' has weakened significantly and moved over to Bangladesh as a cyclonic storm after clobbering West Bengal. In the next three to six hours it will further dissipate into a deep depression and a depression, the two stages that signify a further weakening of the cyclone, it said.
