PM Modi to visit Gujarat, Diu tomorrow to review damages caused by Cyclone Tauktae

New Delhi/IBNS: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Gujarat and Diu on Wednesday to take stock of the damages caused by 'extremely severe' Cyclone Tauktae that swept across the western coast of the country.

The cyclone made landfall on Gujarat on Monday evening and left several dead and wounded.

Cyclone Tauktae swept past Maharashtra on Monday leaving six people killed.

The army was called in to help in the relief and rescue operations in Gujarat.

PM Modi will leave the national capital around 9:30 am and land at Bhavnagar, from where he will take an aerial survey of Una, Diu, Jafarabad, and Mahuva, media reports said.

He will also hold a review meeting at Ahmedabad.

Weakening its speed, the cyclone has been downgraded from "extremely severe" to "very severe".

However, it still has the potential to cause heavy rains, with wind speeds reaching 125 kilometres per hour, the weather department has said.
