our south asia correspondent yogita limaye is following developments from mumbai.orts have been on since yesterday morning and in other coastal areas of west bengal and odisha as well, hundreds of people have been moved to safety. bangladesh has said that about 2 million people will be moved to cyclone shelters. they have raised the highest level, the highest danger signal for two seaports, mongla and payra. as you said, the cyclone is expected to make landfall in about five hours from now. india's weather agency says that even though the wind speeds have reduced slightly, they are capable of causing massive destruction to houses, roads, power lines, trees, anything that comes in the way. and the other major concern is the storm surge. the surge of the sea water, because of the storm, could be as high as 16 feet. and that, accompanied with heavy rainfall, means flooding is a major cause of concern right now. the response chief has said this is a dual disaster they are dealing with. they have said shelters that usually can house about 1,000 people, right now they ca
