Many people are killed by Cyclone Remal as it wreaks havoc in Bangladesh and Bengal. The cyclone has damaged a great deal of infrastructure, hampered travel, and triggered humanitarian efforts to get things back to normal.
Cyclone Remal tore into West Bengal and neighboring Bangladesh with winds of up to 135 km/h, causing at least two fatalities and significant damage to property and infrastructure in the coastal districts. Between Sagar Island and Khepupara, close to the southwest of Mongla in the neighboring country, the cyclone devastated the state’s and Bangladesh’s nearby coasts. Its landing process started at 8:30 p.m. on Sunday and lasted for over four hours.
Electric poles were toppled, trees were destroyed, and thatched hut roofs were blown off, creating severe disruption throughout the state, including Calcutta. Emergency personnel are working to remove debris and restore electricity in the impacted areas as part of their efforts to return things to normal.
The impacted individuals are receiving food, clean water to drink, and medical attention thanks to the state government’s relief efforts. While the heavy rain continues, the authorities are advising the public to stay indoors and take the appropriate safety measures.

Numerous places have reported experiencing waterlogging, which exacerbates the suffering of the impacted citizens. Homes and farms were inundated by the storm’s torrential rains, which persisted into Monday.
One individual was hurt when debris struck them in the Gosaba section of the Sundarbans. Before the storm made landfall, the West Bengal authorities evacuated over a lakh people from locations that were at risk. Even if the action saved lives, there is still significant property damage.
