The Railways has announced multiple train cancellations ahead of Cyclone Yaas, a tropical storm set to hit India’s eastern coast on May 26. Weather scientists have confirmed that Yaas will develop into a ‘Very Severe Cyclonic Storm’ in the next 24 hours, making landfall in Odisha between Paradeep and Sagar Island at speeds of 118kmph.
Large-scale damage and heavy rainfall—similar to what was dealt by Cyclone Tauktae—is expected in coastal districts. Rail authorities have thus been quick to stop train services as a safety measure. Many trains originating or terminating at stations in Odisha, West Bengal, Bihar and Jharkhand have been cancelled, along with long-distance trains passing through these states.
