Cyclone Yaas is very likely to cross north Odisha-West Bengal coasts between Paradip and Sagar Island in South 24 Parganas around May 26 noon. It is expected to bring in winds of 155-165 kilometres per hour, gusting up to 180 kmph.

ANI reported quoting NDRF DG SN Pradhan that Cyclone Yaas has developed into deep depression, it’s moving towards the Odisha coast on the conjunction of Odisha and West Bengal, and is likely to make landfall on May 26. In view of this, 20 more NDRF teams will be deployed in Odisha.
