Storms Hit India And Bangladesh, Killing 16 And Leaving 3 Million Homeless

Agency. At least 16 people have been killed in typhoons in India and Bangladesh. A tree named Ampan has caused trees to fall and roofs to collapse.

Three million people affected by the typhoon have been evacuated at a speed of 185 kilometers per hour. Rescue efforts have been hampered by the Corona epidemic.

Some of the affected people have recently returned from quarantine to escape the corona. The eastern Indian states and Bangladesh have been hit hardest by the storm.

The typhoon continued to move northwest across the coastal areas of West Bengal and Bangladesh. After that, it is likely to gradually weaken and turn to the north-east.

The storm is the largest in the Bay of Bengal since 1919.

Although there is no direct effect of the storm in Nepal, meteorologists have said that some places in the eastern and central regions of the country will be affected by its indirect effect.

It has been requested to be cautious as there is a possibility of rain in some places and snowfall in high mountainous areas for the next two days and increase in the flow of water in the canals in the eastern and central regions.
