While the IMD projects air speed to be about 200-210 kmph, projections by other agencies say it may go upto 240-250 kmph, or even more. Even though the administration seems better prepared than Super Cyclone and the speed is less, I am sure the devastation will be higher because we have less number of trees on the coasts than before and more constructions. Massive surges estimated at more than 3 meters is really a matter of big worry.
WIO calls upon all its members and well wishers to stay alert and prepared to support people in need. Help in rescue operations if needed, especially those who are vulnerable including animals.
There are news that fuel pumps and food shops (including essential items) have hiked the prices exorbitantly. Please take immediate action to bring this to notice of the appropriate authorities and stop such inhuman acts at this moment of crisis.
