The cyclone poses significant risks, including the destruction of thatched houses, uprooting of power and communication poles, and localised flooding. Standing crops are also at risk of widespread damage. In Kakinada, roads leading to the sea have been barricaded, and residents have been advised to stock up on essential supplies. Odisha has opened 1,735 cyclone shelters and imposed movement restrictions in landslide-prone areas. The storm's impact could extend to neighbouring Nepal, where heavy rainfall, snowstorms, and avalanches are anticipated as the cyclone moves inland.
