News India Live, Digital Desk: If you are keeping an eye on the news of South India, especially the coastal areas of Tamil Nadu, then this update is very important for you. The change in the weather in the last few hours has increased the concern of the administration and the common people. We are talking about the deep depression formed in the Bay of Bengal, due to which the situation in Rameshwaram, Thoothukudi and surrounding areas remains a bit delicate.

What is the ground reality?
In fact, the impact of the storm and heavy rain that the Meteorological Department had predicted is now visible on the ground. Rameshwaram, which we know for the beautiful views of the Pamban bridge and the sea, is currently experiencing rains with strong winds. Even in Thoothukudi, the sky is surrounded by dark clouds and intermittent rains have slowed down life.

Common people are a little scared, which is also natural. Whenever there is any such movement in the sea, the people who live along the coast are most afraid. But the good news is that this time the preparation is more solid than before.

NDRF’s entry into ‘action mode’
You do not need to panic, but remain alert. NDRF (National Disaster Response Force) teams have already been deployed in the affected areas to deal with any untoward incident. The administration does not want to take any chances. These teams are fully prepared in the sensitive areas of Thoothukudi and Rameshwaram. They have all the equipment that may be needed in a situation like flood or storm.

Strict advice for fishermen and tourists
For now, the sea has been made a ‘No-Go Zone’. The fishermen who went into deep waters with their boats have been asked in clear words to return back or remain on the shore. The administration knows that the wind speed can increase at any time, in such a situation it would not be wise to take risk. If you were planning to visit there, it is better to postpone it for now. Before going to tourist spots like Dhanushkodi and Pamban, definitely check the guidelines of the local police.

What will happen next?
The Meteorological Department is continuously monitoring this system. This deep pressure can turn into a cyclone or weaken and disintegrate, this is being monitored every moment. But the way the winds are blowing in the coastal areas, it is clear that the next 24 to 48 hours are going to be very important.

The government has also issued precautionary instructions for schools and colleges so that children remain safe. People living in low-lying areas have also been advised to move to safe places.

Our suggestion:
No one can compete with nature, but it is wise for us to be prepared. If you are in these areas, do not pay attention to rumors and rely only on official news. Keep your phone charged and note down emergency numbers. The administration is ready to provide full help, all that is needed is your cooperation and patience.
