in Mumbai: Nisarga is set to make landfall as 'severe cyclonic storm' close to Alibaug - in a few hours from now. The storm is about 150 kms from Mumbai,, which is already reeling under the massive number of coronavirus cases. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has said Nisarga will affect the coastal districts of Maharashtra, including Mumbai, Gujarat and other neighbouring states. Airlines have cancelled flights to Mumbai scheduled for today. Covid-special trains have been rescheduled as the city braces for its first cyclone in over 100 years. Section 144 (CrPC) has been imposed in Mumbai till June 4. Police have asked citizens to refrain from venturing out to coast-beaches, promenade, parks and other similar places along the coastline.


As Maharashtra and Gujarat  — likely to be impacted the most — braced for the cyclone, Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to the chief ministers of these states and assured them all possible help from the Centre.
