Sea turns #aggressive in Sindh’s #Sajawal as #Biparjoy brings downpour
#KARACHI (MNP) – Sindh’s district #Sajawal has turned more #vulnerable to powerful #cyclone #Biparjoy after high tides triggered by gusty winds and heavy shower have hit shores at #ShahBandar.
Thatta, #Sujawal, #Badin, #Kotri, Matiari, Tando Allah Yar and Tando Muhammad Khan are receiving continous downpour. Huge tides are being reported along the affected #coasltine. There are reports that some villages in Kharo Chan have been inundated with sea water.
With bit less intensity the tropical cyclone — Biparjoy — is hardly 300 kilometres away from Karachi and 288km from port Keti Bandar, the National Disaster Management Authority said in its latest update on Wednesday.
Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) Chief Meteorologist Sardar Sarfraz said the cyclone had moved north-northwestward during the last six hours.
The tropical cyclone is expected to maintain a northward trajectory until Wednesday morning and then it is likely to recurve eastward and will make a landfall between Keti Bandar (Southeast Sindh Coastline) and the Indian Gujarat Coastline in the afternoon of Thursday (June 15), as a Very Severe Cyclonic Storm (VSCS).
