Cyclonic storm over Bay of Bengal may trigger heavy rains from October 27

A fresh low-pressure area formed over southeast Bay of Bengal on Friday is likely to intensify into a cyclonic storm by October 27 and may cause heavy rainfall across Odisha and some parts of West Bengal for three days starting Monday, officials said. Bhubaneswar meteorological department director Manorama Mohanty said the weather system has moved west-northwestwards over the past three hours and is likely to move in that direction further. It will become a depression over the southeast and adjoining central Bay of Bengal by October 25, a deep depression by October 26, and a cyclonic storm over the southwest and adjoining west-central Bay of Bengal by the morning of October 27, Mohanty told reporters here. Asked whether the system will make landfall on the Odisha coast, she said, It is too early to predict, but wherever it makes landfall, Odisha is likely to experience heavy to extremely heavy rainfall from October 27 to 29.The coastal districts are expected to be most affected. The IMD has issued a yellow warning for light to moderate rainfall in 12 districts on Friday, 21 districts each on Saturday and Sunday, and across the entire state on Monday. Odisha Revenue and Disaster Management Minister Suresh Pujari said the state government was closely monitoring the situation and prepared to face any eventuality. October is generally considered a cyclone-prone month. There is no need to panic. The government is fully prepared to handle the situation, Pujari said. The system is also likely to bring heavy rainfall in south Bengal districts comprising North and South 24 Parganas, Purba and Paschim Medinipur, Jhargram and Howrah between October 28 and 30, weather officials said. Thunderstorms with lightning are likely in Kolkata and adjoining Hooghly district on October 28. North Bengal districts of Jalpaiguri, Alipurduar, Cooch Behar, Dakshin Dinajpur and Malda are also likely to get heavy rain between October 29 and 30, they said. The low pressure has also triggered a fresh spell of northeast monsoon rains in the North coastal region of Tamil Nadu, including Chennai . An orange alert has been issued for Chennai, Kancheepuram, and Tiruvallur districts on October 27, warning of heavy rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning. Parts of Chengalpattu and Ranipet are also expected to receive intense showers during the said period. According to the IMDs five-day forecast, heavy rains are likely in Chennai and neighbouring districts till October 28 with possibilities of waterlogging in low-lying areas. In the last 24 hours ending 8.30 am on Friday, widespread rainfall were reported across several districts, with Pallipattu in Tiruvallur recording the highest at 15 cm, followed by Nalumukku in Tirunelveli (12 cm) and Oothu (11 cm).

Leader with remarkable foresight: Union ministers share experiences with PM Modi on his 75th birthday

NEW DELHI: In a first-of-its-kind gesture marking Prime Minister Narendra Modis 75th birthday , Union Ministers from his government shared lesser-known and fascinating experiences of working under his leadership. From Rajnath Singh to other senior ministers, video messages titled NaMo Story were released, offering personal insights into the Prime Ministers character and work ethic. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh described Modi as a blessed one, while Home Minister Amit Shah hailed him as a leader with remarkable foresight and visionary leadership. In his video message, Singh recalled the early days of Prime Minister Modis leadership when he was the national president of the BJP. He shared how PM Modi never panicked when faced with challenges. Singh reminisced about how, during an election campaign, Modi, as the party leader, returned to him and submitted a report on an assignment he had been given, presenting himself as a disciplined worker of the party. He never gets panicked with challenges. This cannot be without a divine grace, remarked Rajnath Singh. He described Modi as a truly blessed individual, possessing an innate and sharp ability to make any campaign highly effective and successful due to his brilliant, grounded, and practical suggestions. Praising the Prime Ministers knack for making sharp and effective suggestions, Singh said, Modi ji ka sujhav sangthmak drishiti se bi prasangik hota hai (Modis suggestions happen to be very much relevant from an organisational point of view). I have seen this ability during travelling with him earlier in 1718 states, and I think this ability cannot be without Gods grace in anyone, Singh added. Sharing a lesser-known facet of Modis personality, the Defence Minister further stated that Modi has an innate curiosity to understand society and other countries. Before being made CM, he had travelled to many countries, he said. PM Modi on 75th Birthday: New India undeterred by nuclear threats, calls for swadeshi surge Recalling the day he first met Modi in Jhansi in 199293, during the Kanyakumari to Srinagar Ekta Yatra led by then BJP President Murli Manohar Joshi, of which Modi was the key organiser, Singh said, There are experiences that shape the course of history. My experience with PM Narendra Modi ji was one such experience. In Jhansi, during his speech, I had seen the brilliance of future leadership. Discipline, dedication to organisation, profound knowledge, and the courage to accept every challenge - these are the qualities that have made him the leader who will take India to new heights. Praising PM Modis dedication and sense of responsibility as a party leader, Singh also recalled an instance after the conclusion of the 2014 Lok Sabha election campaigning, where Modi, as the prime ministerial candidate, visited him at his Ashoka Road residence in Delhi. Modi ji came to give me the report on the task he had been assigned, Singh said. He further highlighted Modis strong level of confidence, saying, Modi-ji is a disciplined political worker. He remains in a jolly mood, and you will not find him to be intense in any situation. He stated that he had never seen Modi become scared or worried about any issue. I think God has sent him to the world after considering all aspects to serve the people, Singh remarked. PM Modi: A Life of Resolve, A Nations Journey Home Minister Amit Shah, on PM Modis birthday, said, The hallmark of strong leadership lies in the ability to take decisions in difficult circumstances. Judged by this criterion, Modi jis leadership is exceptional. I have witnessed him maintain extraordinary patience and clarity of vision, even in the most challenging situations. He cited many examples of hard decisions made by the Prime Minister since he assumed office, such as the abrogation of Article 370, which Shah said would be remembered as a decision that demonstrated not only political courage but also an unwavering commitment to national unity and integrity. He also highlighted the erasure of the social evil of triple talaq as a bold step to protect the dignity and rights of women. Shah termed PM Modis personality as the greatest strength of India. BJP President J P Nadda also praised Modi, stating that the Prime Minister had taken numerous transformative steps to build an Aatmanirbhar and Viksit Bharat, with the goal of progressing every section of society. Union Minister Nitin Gadkari hailed Modi as the worlds most popular leader and wished that India, under his leadership, becomes self-reliant and a vishwaguru, eradicating terrorism and corruption.
