Indian Coast Guard Prepares for Cyclone Dana

As Cyclone Dana approaches the coasts of West Bengal and Odisha, slated to make landfall on October 24-25, the Indian Coast Guard (ICG) has implemented extensive preventive measures to protect lives and property at sea. The ICG has deployed ships, aircraft, and Remote Operating Stations to issue continuous weather warnings and safety advisories to fishermen, urging them to return to shore. Coordination with local administrations and disaster management authorities is in place to ensure a swift and effective response to any emergencies. Fishing communities have been alerted through village leaders to refrain from sea activities until the cyclone passes. The ICG remains on high alert, ready with dedicated disaster relief teams and resources for rescue and relief operations. These initiatives reflect the ICG's proactive stance in mitigating the cyclone's potential impact.
