Cyclone Nisha to hit Tamil Nadu
An alert has been sounded by the metrological department in the coastal areas of Tamil Nadu as Cyclone Nisha is expected to hit between Nagapattan and Vedranyam coasts. The fear of Cyclone Nisha has forced authorities and people to move around 3,500 people to the safer place. The wind speed at the coastal areas was at 50km/hr.
The alert regarding Cyclone Nisha was sounded after heavy rains accompanied by gusty winds swept coastal parts of Tamil Nadu forcing authorities to close schools and colleges in Chennai and three other districts on Wednesday.
District Magistrates of cities like Chennai, Thanjavur, Nagapattinam, and Tiruvarur have ordered closure of schools and colleges in their respective districts.
