Indian Meteorological Department today on Twitter shared links for any assistance and information regarding the ‘severe’ Cyclone Vayu which was expected to hit Gujarat early on Thursday; however, as per the updated information from the concerned department, Cyclone Vayu will not hit Gujarat as it changed its trajectory overnight and moved further into the sea.

However, the coastal areas in the state and the neighbouring states are continued to be on high alert as strong winds and rough seas are expected for the next 24 to 48 hours. As a precautionary measure, more than three lakh people were evacuated from the coastal district and the union territory of Diu on Wednesday. Reports suggest that as many as 52 teams of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) have been deployed for rescue and relief operations. Prime Minister Narendra Modi also tweeted to say that the centre was constantly monitoring the situation. Apart from the NDRF, the Coast Guard, Army, Navy, Air Force, and the Border Security Force too have been put on high alert.
