Cyclone Amphan will cross West Bengal and Bangladesh coasts by Wednesday night with a very devastating wind speed which could cause extensive damage to structures, India Meteorological Department (IMD) chief Mrutyunjay Mohapatra said today.
"Amphan is the most intense cyclone - the second super cyclone - which has been formed in the Bay of Bengal after 1999. We are utilizing all tools and technologies to monitor it. The current wind speed of Amphan is around 200 - 240 kmph, it is moving north-northwest direction at 15 kmph, but we expect this speed to increase," Mohapatra said in a press briefing here. (ANI)
