Shops and business establishments in Gujarat’s Kutch district opened shutters on Saturday in signs of return to normalcy as authorities stepped up efforts to restore electricity in several towns and hundreds of villages battered by Cyclone Biparjoy. The weather system, which hit the landmass near Jakhau port as a very severe cyclonic storm on Thursday evening, turned into a deep depression and will further lose steam to become a depression, the India Meteorological Department said in its latest update.
However, heavy to very heavy rains will likely continue in many northern districts of the state, it said. Home Minister Amit Shah visited the cyclone-affected areas of Jakhau and Mandvi and held a review in Bhuj with those managing relief and rescue operations, said officials. It is not raining in Kutch and the wind speed has also significantly reduced after the cyclone passed through the area, they said.
