Barring inundation of some low-lying areas in coastal West Bengal, there has been no impact of cyclone Phailin in the State, Disaster Management Minister Javed Khan said.
The restriction on people to stay indoors at Digha, Mandarmoni and Shankarpur in the coastal areas has been lifted as the “danger is over”, he told PTI .
Disaster management and civil defence personnel were deployed in the coastal areas to deal with the impact of the cyclone after it made landfall in Odisha on Saturday night.
“We had posted disaster management, civil defence and rescue teams at Digha, Shankarpur, Contai, Mandarmoni, Diamond Harbour and some areas in the Sundarbans,” Mr. Khan said.
