Two Indian Navy ships have been deployed off Tamil Nadu for Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief assistance. Four Navy aircraft deployed on the West coast to warn fishermen at sea.

Cyclonic storm Burevi with wind speed of 70-80 gusting to 90 kmph was centred very close to Pamban around noon on 3 December. It would then move nearly west-southwestwards across Pamban area by afternoon and cross south Tamil Nadu coast between Pamban and Kanyakumari during 3 December night and 4 December early morning as a cyclonic storm with wind speed of 70-80 gusting to 90 kmph. 

Thus its impact on south Tamil Nadu coastal districts is likely to commence from 3 December forenoon initially over Ramanathapuram district and gradually move towards Kanyakumari district, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD).

A Disaster Management Team, headed by Special DIG Rajestas visited and inspected work and preparation in the Pamban area.

A total of 14 teams from the National Disaster Response Force have been deployed in various parts of Tamil Nadu in view of anticipated cyclonic storm Burevi. -- ANI
