India on High alert after Warning of Cyclone "Arabian Sea"

Indian authorities have declared a state of high alert in the states of Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Goa, as well as other coastal areas, after weather experts warned of an increase in the strength of a cyclone over the Arabian Sea in the next 24 hours, according to Sky News.

The authorities have ordered fishing operations to be halted for the next five days in the eastern and central parts of the Arabian Sea as well as in the areas of Saurashtra and Kutch, prior to the arrival of Cyclone "Pyaarju".

The Indian Meteorological Department, which classified Pyaarju as a "very severe storm" at 03:00 GMT on Saturday, stated that the cyclone is approximately 620 kilometers to the west and southwest of the financial capital, Mumbai.

"Very likely to intensify further and move gradually north-northeastwards during the next 24 hours," a source told Reuters.

National Disaster Response Force and Disaster Response Force teams have been deployed in the areas that may be affected by the cyclone, and unstable structures such as signboards have been removed, while the electricity department is prepared for power outages. 

The potential impact of the cyclone has led to concerns about its effect on the population and infrastructure of the affected areas. The situation is being closely monitored by the Indian government and relevant authorities, and measures are being taken to ensure the safety and security of the citizens in the affected regions.
