With #CycloneOckhi expected to make a landfall in Gujarat, I appeal to @BJP4Gujarat Karyakartas to focus on helping people across the state. Our Karyakartas should devote themselves to providing all possible assistance and stand shoulder to shoulder with fellow citizens.

Several videos of massive waves supposedly lashing at the Sea Link and hailstones falling along the Mumbai-Pune expressway have been going viral on social media. THESE ARE NOT TRUE!
Till then, expect heavy showers as per IMD predictions
Fishermen in distress as authorities won't allow fishing to resume before the cyclone completely settles. This is a 2 crore daily business which will not only affect the fishermen but also consumers, since prices are expected to rise.
With the sea expected to remain rough to very rough, the city will have to be cautious over the next 36 hours
