government?
Answers
Answer:
Severe cyclonic storm Amphan has weakened after wreaking havoc in Odisha and West Bengal, leaving several dead as it barrelled through with high wind speeds. It has also caused severe damage to property in the state’s deltaic areas and urban neighbourhoods of Kolkata. Reports suggest that at least 12 people died in Kolkata due to the cyclonic storm as it battered the city for hours since Wednesday evening. Though the storm’s worst phase has passed, several challenges await Bengal and Odisha. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said, the situation in Bengal is now more worrying than the coronavirus pandemic. Mamata also said that the state could face losses up to one lakh crore rupees in the wake of the devastation caused. Meanwhile, neighbouring Bangladesh also suffered serious damage and thousands of makeshift homes have been destroyed.
