West Bengal: Forces in action amid Super cyclone 'Yaas'

In West Bengal, forces are in action amid Super cyclone 'Yaas'.

According to government estimates more than 2,000 houses have been damaged and 51 embankments along the coastline of East Midnapore and South 24 Parganas have been destroyed allowing the sea water to enter into the land.

"This will not only flood the villages but cause huge damage to agriculture as well. "Though Kolkata has been safe till now but due to high tide it is likely that there will be waterlogging in the city as well. We have closed all the flyovers as a precautionary measure," Mamata Banerjee said.
