Flights suspended in India, over a million flee as Cyclone Dana approaches



More than 1.1 million people on India’s eastern coast are evacuating to storm shelters as Cyclone Dana approaches. The cyclone is expected to hit West Bengal and Odisha states with winds gusting up to 120 km/h. Airports are closing, businesses in beach resorts are shutting down, and tourists are being asked to leave. Authorities in India and Bangladesh are preparing for the impact, with coastal areas at risk of flooding. Scientists warn that cyclones are becoming more powerful due to climate change, but better forecasting and evacuation plans have reduced the death toll in recent years.
