Danger signal is lowered in Orissa as cyclonic storm moves northwards

In Orissa, danger signal has been lowered at Gopalpur and Paradeep ports of Orissa with the very severe cyclonic storm 'GIRI' over North-East Bay of Bengal moving Northwards. However, fishermen have been cautioned while venturing into the sea. Giri has crossed Myanmar Coast about 70 km to the East-Southeast of Sittwe in Myanmar. It has weakened into a severe cyclonic storm. The system has moved North-eastwards and further weakened into a Cyclonic storm and lay centred about 150 km Northeast of Sittwe in Myanmar. The system is likely to move North-eastwards and weaken rapidly during next 24 hours. Under its impact, rain or thundershower is likely to occur at a few places and heavy rainfall at one or two places over Orissa during next 24 hours.
